typing.NamedTuple supports docstrings, user-defined methods, and default values.
I hope the second ': int' can be omitted because 0 already is an int. This makes me wonder three things: 1) Michel, can newcomers differentiate between when to use ' : ' and when to use ' = ' and a combination thereof? 2) There must be a lot of cornercases where people rewrite Foo to be a normal class in the end, right? 3) If one doesn't need tuple-__dunder__ methods, a "normal" class would even need 1 line less. (+ Stephan's second point) So, this still leaves those missing __dunder__ magic methods doing the right thing at the right time. Sven
