LGTM.

I was just surprised that updating func.__annotations__ after update_wrapper(wrapper, func) doesn't update wrapper.__annotations__. Don't get me wrong, I'm fine with this behavior.

[vstinner]

Suggested change

	func=_get_get_annotations()
	returnfunc(wrapped, format=format)
	get_annotations=_get_get_annotations()
	returnget_annotations(wrapped, format=format)

[vstinner]

Another surprising behavior. I'm discovering __annotate__() so it's maybe by design, I don't know :-)

When I update annotations of the wrapped function, __annotate__() of the wrapped function doesn't change, whereas __annotate__() of the wrapper is updated.

$ ./python
>>> import functools
>>> def f(x: int = 1): return x
>>> def wrapper(*args): pass
>>> functools.update_wrapper(wrapper, f)
<function f at 0x7f19f44d3e90>
>>> f.__annotations__['x']
<class 'int'>
>>> import annotationlib
>>> f.__annotate__(annotationlib.Format.VALUE)
{'x': <class 'int'>}
>>> wrapper.__annotate__(annotationlib.Format.VALUE)
{'x': <class 'int'>}
>>> f.__annotations__['x'] = float
>>> f.__annotate__(annotationlib.Format.VALUE) # <=== HERE
{'x': <class 'int'>}
>>> wrapper.__annotate__(annotationlib.Format.VALUE) # <=== HERE
{'x': <class 'float'>}

I would expect getting the same value for both cases. Either <class 'int'> or <class 'float'>.

This is because we use get_annotations, which always returns a fresh dictionary. Maybe I should change that.

I made some changes to align with @ncoghlan's original proposal and @vstinner's feedback above, but I now think it's better to stick with what's currently on main. I'll write that up on the issue.
