In this [python-ideas thread](https://mail.python.org/archives/list/python-ideas@python.org/thread/T6K4DWENPM7LYXSDVYQYDVFEVBMA5K3L/) it was suggested to create a public API for `typing._eval_type` in order to be able to create custom versions of `get_type_hints`. Specifically a version that allows to specify an upper boundary in the MRO when retrieving type hints for a class object.

The public API should use `None` as defaults for `globalns` and `localns` and not expose the `recursive_guard` parameter.
