Feature request: backport `typing` fix in 3.11 to evaluate strings as forward refs in PEP 585 generics

[egparedes]

Python 3.11 also added a bug fix to transform type strings to ForwardRefs when evaluating generics args here:
bpo-41370: Evaluate strings as forward refs in PEP 585 generics #30900

Would you consider adding that fix to this package? It doesn't seem like a complicated feature to add and it would help to deal with typing annotations in a more uniform way across different python versions.

Yes, I'd accept a PR for that. Did you find this via pydantic? Are you using it somehow?

Sorry for the late reply, I've been very busy lately with other issues. I've used pydantic in the past and found it awesome but in the end we had to replace it in our project for some very specific issues related to our use case. I arrived to this repo through @bswck comments in the typing_extensions repo, and my idea was to use it as a more stable replacement for some hacks used internally in my own projects (not using pydantic).

I'm not sure if I'll be able to work on this feature in the short term, so feel free to open your own PR if you don't want to wait.
