Makes sense! I'd prefer something like class KW_ONLY: ..., since KW_ONLY is actually an instance of _KW_ONLY_TYPE at runtime, so repurposing it is a little confusing (https://github.com/python/cpython/blob/b6bde9fc42aecad5be0457198d17cfe7b481ad79/Lib/dataclasses.py#L192)

python/mypy#10867 wanted a similar change (cc @tgallant), so sounds like this is the right direction to take to make this feature implementable for type checkers.

There's some CI failures though; you'll probably have to add to the stubtest allowlist.
