[issue45489] ForwardRef does not support | operator

[Bobbey Reese]

New submission from Bobbey Reese <bobbeyreese at gmail.com>:

Not positive this is a bug, but it seems like ForwardRef should support the pipe (|) operator for indicating Unions in Python 3.10:

Python 3.10.0 (default, Oct  4 2021, 22:09:55) [GCC 9.3.0] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> from typing import ForwardRef
>>> ForwardRef('asdf') | ForwardRef('fdsa')
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for |: 'ForwardRef' and 'ForwardRef'
>>> int | str
int | str
>>>
