[Chicago] Inheriting from a namedtuple

[Adam Forsyth]

Why namedtuple instead of __slots__? What are you getting from namedtuple?

If you do have a good reason to use namedtuple, I think it's OK to use it
like this -- it reads clearly to me, and is easy to refactor. However, I
would call the base class "PointBase" rather than "Point".
