What about something like this:

class Name(NamedTuple):

    first: str

    last: str

d = NamedKeyDict(Named)

d[first='david', last='mertz'] = 1_000_000  # dollars

right -- that would be a new custom class that took advantage of this feature.

Are you suggesting that the built in dict be extended to support this? I'm pretty sure Jonathan Fine did suggest that -- but I don't think that's a good idea myself.
