  • Protocol[T] behaves like Generic[T] when defining a generic class.
  • It's an error to include both Generic[T] and Protocol[T].
  • When Generic[T] is omitted, type variables are taken in order of first appearance in generic base classes.

Discussion: https://discuss.python.org/t/clarifying-the-rules-for-subclassing-generic-classes/69698.

Looks good to me, but one thing seemed a little unclear.
