With respect Ethan, if you're going to offer up NamedTuple as a faster
version of namedtuple, you should at least do a quick proof of
concept to demonstrate that it actually *is* faster. Full bench marking
can wait, but you should be able to do at least something like:
python3 -m timeit --setup "from collections import namedtuple" \
"K = namedtuple('K', 'a b c')"
versus
python3 -m timeit --setup "from aenum import NamedTuple" \
"K = NamedTuple('K', 'a b c')"
(or whatever the interface is). If there's only a trivial speed up, or
if its slower, then there's no point even considing it unless you speed
it up first.
