Feature or enhancement

Proposal:

Currently this code is failing:

class A: pass class B(A, typing.NamedTuple): x: int

Raising:

TypeError: can only inherit from a NamedTuple type and Generic 

But this code is not:

class A: pass class _B(typing.NamedTuple): x: int class B(A, _B): pass B(x=1)

I believe those 2 snippets are mostly equivalent (the final B class behave the same), so it's confusing and force boilerplate that class B(A, typing.NamedTuple): fail.

Has this already been discussed elsewhere?

This is a minor feature, which does not need previous discussion elsewhere
