From @encukou:

 Thanks for the fix. Since it's a blocker I merged it, even though I'd have one more review comment: 

It would be good to add this to the new test, and improve the behaviour (the error is quite opaque):

 class MoreFieldsThanTypes(ast.AST): _fields = ('a', 'b') _field_types = {'a': int | None} a: int | None = None b: int | None = None

Based on robotframework/robotframework#5091 (comment), we should also document _field_types.
