+- Add `typing_extensions.NamedTuple`, allowing for generic `NamedTuple`s on

 - Re-export `typing.Unpack` and `typing.TypeVarTuple` on Python 3.11.

+- `NamedTuple` was changed in Python 3.11 to allow for multiple inheritance
+  with `typing.Generic` The implementation of `NamedTuple` was also changed in
+  3.9 so that `NamedTuple` became a function rather than a class.
 
 There are a few types whose interface was modified between different
 versions of typing. For example, `typing.Sequence` was modified to
