[New-bugs-announce] [issue25981] Intern namedtuple field names

[Serhiy Storchaka]

New submission from Serhiy Storchaka:

If intern field names in namedtuple, this will speed up the access to them, because names could be compared just by identity in dict lookup. This can also make pickles containing namedtuples more compact.
