``def foo(**kwargs: **T): ...`` is equivalent to
``def foo(**kwargs: type(T).__typing_unpack__(T)): ...``.
``TypedDict`` is the only type in the standard library that is expected to
implement ``__typing_unpack__``, which should return ``Unpack[self]``.
implement ``__typing_unpack__``, which should return ``Unpack[self]``. The
motivation for reusing :pep:`646`'s ``Unpack`` is described in the
:ref:`Backwards Compatibility <pep-692-backwards-compatibility>` section.
It is worth pointing out that currently using ``Unpack`` in the context of
typing is interchangeable with using the asterisk syntax::
>>> Unpack[Movie]
*<class '__main__.Movie'>
Therefore, in order to be compatible with the new usecase, ``Unpack``'s
``repr`` should be changed to simply ``Unpack[T]``.
