Okay. Let's start bikeshedding. If SimpleNamespace were to become a builtin, what should its name be? It needs to be short (obviously), but not TOO short, and it needs to be at least somewhat descriptive, and it needs to not cause confusion with "object". Ideally, it should get a name that's unlikely to conflict with names already in frequent use.
* namespace * ns * Thing * dump * plunkit
I'm not a fan of any of those, but let's see how inspired other people are :)
stuff (thank you, George Carlin!) bag Using a initial lower case letter makes it feel more built in, at the expense of likely breaking more existing code. Using an initial capital letter makes it feel more like a class, which may or may not be a good thing.
