The documentation explaining Python's data model does not adequately explain
the differences between
__getitem__and__class_getitem__, nor does itexplain when each is called. There is an attempt at explaining
__class_getitem__in the documentation forGenericAliasobjects, butthis does not give sufficient clarity into how the method works. Moreover, it
is the wrong place for that information to be found; the explanation of
__class_getitem__should be in the documentation explaining the data model.This PR has been split off from #29335.
