Thanks for steering me to it.  However, your implementation and Mr. 
Hettinger's original NamedTuple both requires you to establish a type at 
the onset; with my prototype, you can create records ad-hoc as you can 
with dicts and tuples.  I haven't found a lot of documentation on how to 
use __slots__, but I'm betting it wouldn't mesh well with my breezy 
ad-hoc records type.
