>>> X.__metadata__
('very', 'important', 'metadata')

* At runtime, if you want to retrieve the original
type wrapped by ``Annotated``, use :attr:`!__origin__` attribute:

.. doctest::

>>> from typing import Annotated, get_origin
>>> Password = Annotated[str, "secret"]
>>> Password.__origin__
<class 'str'>

Note that using :func:`get_origin` will return ``Annotated`` itself:

.. doctest::

>>> assert get_origin(Password) is Annotated
