    For a typing object of the form ``X[Y, Z, ...]`` these functions return
    ``X`` and ``(Y, Z, ...)``. If ``X`` is a generic alias for a builtin or
    :mod:`collections` class, it gets normalized to the original class.
-   If ``X`` is a :class:`Union` contained in another generic type,
-   the order of ``(Y, Z, ...)`` may be different from the order of
-   the original arguments ``[Y, Z, ...]`` due to type caching.

+   generic type, the order of ``(Y, Z, ...)`` may be different from the order
+   of the original arguments ``[Y, Z, ...]`` due to type caching.
    For unsupported objects return ``None`` and ``()`` correspondingly.
