Exposing Python 3.6's Private Dict Version

Adding a member to the tuple requires updating all code that unpacks it.

Adding an attribute doesn't impact any code that doesn't use the attribute.

Yes, that's why you usually don't use unpacking for a namedtuple. This works just fine without me adding additional 3rd party packages:

> from collections import namedtuple

> Point = namedtuple('Point', ['x', 'y'])

> points = [Point(3,4), Point(5,2)]

> for p in points:

> print(p.x, p.y)
