False positive "[TypedDict instance] is not callable"

[l0b0]

Steps to reproduce

Given a file a.py:

from typing import TypedDict

Link = TypedDict("Link", {"href": str})
Link(href="foo")

Current behavior

Result of pylint a.py:

************* Module a
a.py:4:0: E1102: Link is not callable (not-callable)

------------------------------------
Your code has been rated at -6.67/10

Expected behavior

This should not be an error. TypedDict is a subclass of dict, so line 4 is equivalent to dict(href="foo"). The code also runs fine and passes mypy --strict a.py.

pylint --version output

Result of pylint --version output:

Thanks for the bug report! I've opened PRs to address the issue.

You can work around it already though by using the "new" syntax instead.

from typing import TypedDict

class Link(TypedDict):
    href: str

Link(href="foo")

You fixed it and taught me something new. Thank you so much!
