ForwardRef is for internal use, and writing ForwardRef('fdsa') is discouraged, as the docs say: This class should not be instantiated by a user. However, I don't see any cons from adding union support, so let's do it! Note that a workaround exists for OP's example. But it may not be sufficient for complex runtime libraries: ForwardRef('asdf \| fdsa')
