See here: https://github.com/falconry/falcon/pull/2599/changes#r2716854330. Decorators like falcon.util.misc._lru_cache_* can be type using ParamSpec, allowing us to get rid of a bunch of typing ignores.
Create a more advanced TypedDict or similar for annotating ASGI scope. We could probably draw inspiration from the relevant parts of asgiref: https://github.com/django/asgiref/blob/main/asgiref/typing.py. Since these annotations are really trivial, we probably want just to reimplement the part that we use. This would allow us to get rid of a bunch of typing ignores, see #2599.
