Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
To make it easier reading the typing it is now possible to use | instead of Union or Optional.

Here's an example how it looks like in pandas:

Describe the solution you'd like
Replace for example:

• Union[str, int] with str | int
• Optional[str] with None | str

This would likely require adding from __future__ import annotations at the top of the file.
