Like #120719, this is an experimental way to fix the issues discussed in python/peps#3847.

This PR takes the approach of "never use the class dict". Instead, we repurpose the unused tp_cache field to hold annotation information. It can hold any of:

  • NULL: the class has no annotations
  • a dict: the class has __annotations__, but no __annotate__
  • a callable: the class has only __annotate__
  • a tuple: the class has both annotate and annotations

We'll go with #122074.
