typing.ForwardRef was first documented in GH-14216 but there's no mention that the class was only added in Python 3.7.

In Python 3.6 there's no typing.ForwardRef; there is a typing._ForwardRef which seems to be the same thing from before it was made public.


What I don't know is whether the change of name was made in 3.7 or in a point release.
