+Usage in Python <3.11
+---------------------
+
+If your code supports Python <3.11 and wishes to use ``Required[]`` or
+``NotRequired[]`` then it should use ``typing_extensions.TypedDict`` rather
+than ``typing.TypedDict`` because the latter will not understand
+``(Not)Required[]``. In particular ``__required_keys__`` and 
+``__optional_keys__`` on the resulting TypedDict type will not be correct:
+
+Yes (Python 3.11+ only):
