[issue33170] New type based on int() created with typing.NewType is not consistent

[Maxim Avanov]

New submission from Maxim Avanov :

>From my understanding of the docs section on new types, 
>https://docs.python.org/3/library/typing.html#newtype the new type based on 
 int() should just pass the value into the base constructor. However,

```
PercentDiscount = NewType('PercentDiscount', int)

>>> PercentDiscount(50) == int(50)
True

>>> int('50') == int(50)
True

>>> PercentDiscount('50') == PercentDiscount(50)
False
```

Logically, I would expect it to behave similarly to

```
>>> class PercentDiscount(int): pass

>>> PercentDiscount('50') == PercentDiscount(50)
True
```

Ok, after further reading, I see that NewType creates an identity stub.
