In scope of https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/27262 we have introduce `_typing` module with typing related helper functions.

It will be great to speedup `typing.cast` function by implementing it in C.

I have already done it and here is results:
```
import timeit
import typing
import _typing

def _timeit(m):
    print(m.__name__, timeit.timeit("cast(int, 1)", globals={"cast": m.cast}))

_timeit(typing)
_timeit(_typing)
```

```
typing  0.0702372890082188
_typing 0.033294505992671475
```
