+   By default, a ``TypedDict`` is open, meaning that it may contain additional keys
+   at runtime beyond those defined in the class body. The *closed* class argument can

+
+   Setting ``closed=False`` explicitly requests the default open behavior. If the argument is not
+   passed, this state is inherited from the parent class.
+
+   In addition to being open or closed, a ``TypedDict`` can also be configured to have extra items.
+   If the *extra_items* class argument is set to a type, the ``TypedDict`` can contain arbitrary
+   additional keys, but the values of those keys must be of the specified type.

+   The *extra_items* argument is also inherited through subclassing. It is unset
+   by default, and it may not be used together with the *closed* argument.
