I think mapping is not `abc.Mapping` class only.
What about:
`Iterator[Tuple[str, int]]`
```
@dataclass
class MyMap:
x: int
y: int
```
Is this "mapping"?
In Python I can use `/` as path separator: `pathlib.Path.cwd() / 'my_dir'`. I
can control the behavior of my class.
But I only have one way to unpack the object. Not a perfect way. `dict.update
()` gives more freedom.

```
# first.py:
@dataclass
class Point2D(Mapping):
# second.py
@dataclass
class Point3D(Point2D):
```
Now I have to think about unnecessary public methods.
