This PEP also makes it possible to define TypedDicts in the
:pep:`alternative functional syntax <589#alternative-syntax>`
with a mix of required and potentially-missing keys,
which is not currently possible at all because the alternative syntax does
not support inheritance:
::
Actor = TypedDict('Actor', {
'name': str,
# "in" is a keyword, so the functional syntax is necessary
'in': NotRequired[List[str]],
})
Rationale
=========
One might think it unusual to propose syntax that prioritizes marking
*required* keys rather than syntax for *potentially-missing* keys, as is
