This is one approach to resolving #137530

It generates a new __annotate__ function to attach to the __init__ method and removes the in-line annotations that are now unused.

It's possible to keep the original source annotations if necessary, but they provide a second possibly incorrect source of the information and they will probably also cause additional issues with #135228 as they may keep the original class around when ForwardRef values are generated.

The generated __annotate__ will also keep these references and need to be regenerated. I can extend this or follow up to handle these references but I didn't want to do too much in one PR.
