[issue18896] Remove namedtuple 255 arguments restriction

[Raymond Hettinger]

Raymond Hettinger added the comment:

I would like to see the limitation removed.  IIRC, Guido has said the same.

That said, the limitation isn't due to anything in the namedtuple code.  Instead, it is due to a CPython bytecode implementation detail that limits all function/method definitions to no more than 255 arguments.
