Remember, "named tuple" is a concept, not a class.  It is anything that
provides attribute access as an alternative to indexed access (see the
definition in the glossary where time.struct_time is given as an
example).  Running the collections.named_tuple() factory function
creates a new class with named tuple features, but it is just one of
several ways of creating named tuples.
