[issue44799] typing.get_type_hints() raises TypeError for a variable annotated by dataclasses.InitVar

[Jelle Zijlstra]

I think this should be fixed in typing.py instead. get_type_hints() should be less strict about what it accepts as a type, so users are free to use annotations in innovative ways.

Static type checkers should have the job of enforcing that type annotations are valid types.
