After https://github.com/python/cpython/pull/28279 and https://bugs.python.org/issue45166 `ForwardRef` and `_type_check` now have `is_class` kw-only argument. It is now inconsistent with `is_argument` and `module` arguments. It would be quite nice to make them all kw-only. Quoting @ambv: > _type_check we can just change in Python 3.11 without any further ado. ForwardRef() will need a deprecation period when the users is calling is_argument= and module= as non-keyword arguments
