I wish there was a union operator for typing as well to replace `Union[str, int]` with just `[str|int]`.

PEP 604 (draft) proposes this:

  def f(list: List[int | str], param: int | None) -> float | str:
      pass

  f([1, "abc"], None)

Naively, couldn’t your just overload `or` to make that work?

Did you mean `str | int`?
