Bug report

Python 11.1 accepts recurring type definition with the Union[] syntax

>>> from typing import Union
>>> NestedList = list[Union[str, "NestedList"]]
>>> NestedList
list[typing.Union[str, ForwardRef('NestedList')]]

However, the more recent | union syntax fails

>>> NestedList = list[str | "NestedList"]
TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for |: 'type' and 'str'
