This means users of older Python versions who are unable to upgrade will not be able to take advantage of new types added to the ``typing`` module, such as ``typing.Protocol`` or ``typing.TypedDict``. The ``typing_extensions`` module contains backports of these changes. Experimental types that may eventually be added to the ``typing`` module are also included in ``typing_extensions``.
