I think this is how we'd normally do this kind of thing:

Suggested change
.. versionadded:: 3.12 *convenience variable*
.. versionadded:: 3.12
Added the three convenience variables

E.g. see

cpython/Doc/library/typing.rst

Lines 891 to 897 in 5d04cc5

.. versionadded:: 3.6.2
Added :data:`NoReturn`.
.. versionadded:: 3.11
Added :data:`Never`.

Also this is what confused the user - we did not only add the three convenience variables, we added the convenience variable feature, together with three pre-defined convenience variables.

Oh, fair enough!

I see. I think your proposed text is maybe slightly too terse in that case; I still misread it as a non-pdb expert
