+Add missing ``__class_getitem__`` method to the Python implementation of
+:func:`functools.partial`, to make it compatible with the C version. This is
+mainly relevant for alternative Python implementations like PyPy and
+GraalPy, because CPython will usually use the C-implementation of that
+function.
