I considered using slots, but that was gonna take too long. Here's a simple implementation using slots:

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.
