I quick look through our codebase agrees with that. I found 27
namedtuple classes. 21 were initialized with MyTuple(x, y, z) syntax.
Three used MyTuple(*data).
Most interesting were the three that used MyTuple(**data). In all three
cases, data was a dictionary returned by re.match.groupdict(). The
definition of the namedtuple was even built by introspecting the regex
to find all the named groups!
