format parameter in typing.get_type_hints()Do not mention `__annotations__` dictionaries, as this is slightly outdated since 3.14. Rewrite the note about possible exceptions for clarity. Also do not mention imported type aliases, as since 3.12 aliases with the `type` statement do not suffer from this limitation anymore.

I'm wondering if we should also update this section:
cpython/Doc/library/typing.rst
Lines 3336 to 3337 in 66e1399
This gives some sense that accessing
__annotations__is safe, which is no longer the case.📚 Documentation preview 📚: https://cpython-previews--143758.org.readthedocs.build/
