The proposal in your email seems incomplete

The proposal does not say anything about type((x=1, y=2)). I assume it will be the same as the type currently returned by namedtuple(?, 'x y'), but will these types be cached? Will type((x=1, y=2)) is type((x=3, y=4)) be True?.

Regarding that spec, I think there's something missing: given a list (or tuple!) of values, how do you turn it into an 'ntuple'?

Maybe type((x=1, y=2))(values) will work?
