add bound syntax for type variable tuples and parameter specifications

[KotlinIsland]

Feature or enhancement

Proposal:

# typical forms
class A[T: int, *Ts: int, **P: [int]]: ...
A[
    str, # error
    int, # ok, matching Ts bound
    str, # error, not matching Ts bound
    [str], # error, not matching P bound
]

A[
    int, # ok
    int, # ok, matching Ts bound
    bool, # ok, matching Ts bound
    [int], # ok, matching P bound
]

# tvt unpacked form
class B[*Ts: *tuple[int, str]]: ...

B[
    int, # ok
    int, # error, not subtype of str
    int, # error, too many types
]

Has this already been discussed elsewhere?

This is new syntax and requires a PEP. (And if you ask: I am not going to sponsor it. Not particularly opposed to the feature, just not interested in spending time on it.)
