Summary: Empty class 'Object'

Initial Comment:
An empty class 'Object' in builtins, which can be instantiated (with optional inline arguments as attributes (like dict)), and attributes added. Convenience - Easy OO variable container - known to pickle etc.

idea:

class X(object):
    def __init__(self,_d={},**kwargs):
        kwargs.update(_d)
        self.__dict__=kwargs
class Y(X):
    def __repr__(self):
        return '<Y:%s>'%self.__dict__

------

x=X(spam=1) 
x.a=3

This has been requested in various forms over the years.  See the "bunch"
discussion on the python-dev mailing list from over a year ago.  There may
have even been a PEP.  I believe the general consensus was "it would be
convenient sometimes, but it is *trivial* to implement it as necessary". 
Also, not every X-line function or class should be included with Python.
