Describe the issue:

Type checkers (tested with pyright==1.1.356 in strict mode) don't recognize np.bool_ as alias for np.bool on numpy==2.0.0rc1.

Unless I'm missing something, this is because bool_ is missing in __init__.pyi.

Reproduce the code example:

import numpy as np

type NpBool = np.bool_  # results in pyright errors

Error message:

error: Type of "bool_" is unknown (reportUnknownMemberType)
error: "bool_" is not a known member of module "numpy" (reportAttributeAccessIssue)

Python and NumPy Versions:

2.0.0rc1
3.12.2 (main, Feb 25 2024, 16:35:05) [GCC 11.4.0]

Runtime Environment:

No response

Context for the issue:

This makes it impossible to add support for both numpy 1 and 2 in typed python packages, e.g. in https://github.com/jorenham/Lmo/blob/master/lmo/typing.py
