UP007: autofix does not work for some examples

[saippuakauppias]

Example:

from typing import Any, Dict, Optional, Type, Union


# 1
DataType = Optional[Dict[str, Any]]


# 2
class StatusedModel:
    ACTIVE: str = 'active'
    BLOCKED: str = 'blocked'
    DELETED: str = 'deleted'


StatusType = Union[StatusedModel.ACTIVE, StatusedModel.BLOCKED, StatusedModel.DELETED]


# 3
BALANCE_ZERO = 'zero'
BALANCE_LOW = 'low'
ModeType = Union[BALANCE_LOW, BALANCE_ZERO]


# 4
Numeric = Union[int, float, str]


# 5
IdType = Union[int, Type[int]]

Run output:

$ ruff --fix --select UP007 ruff_errors/UP007.py

These are intentional, right now we don't autofix UP007 errors that are used outside of annotations (e.g., on the right-hand side of an assignment). (pyupgrade doesn't either.)

Its caused some subtle bugs in the past: #3215, #2981. It was also discussed here: #4108.

It's possible that it's actually fine to fix these, with the exception that we can't rewrite Union[new_types] to new_types. I'm not certain.

It would be very helpful to autofix the PEP604 | unions, but have it gated behind an unsafe fix.
I'm using --add-noqa as a workaround for now.
