The mutable alternative could be considered as an array with attribute 
access.
Array in this context is tuple-like object that support assign operation.
Since python have not such object there are different approaches tomutable  
named tuple alternatives.

One should note that particular property of named tuple is memory saving.
So one can expect similar property of mutable named tuple too.
