Hmm, for some reason I'm not getting mail from this issue, so I made my PR 
before I saw the comments since my last comment.

Raymond has resisted adding a base class to namedtuple. I believe the preferred 
way to identify a namedtuple is to look for a _fields member. We could do that 
instead of use the (*[]) trick for all classes derived from tuple or list.

Maybe it's worthwhile bringing up the differences in how tuple and namedtuple 
handle creation with iterables on python-dev.

I'm still not certain of the right approach, but PR 8728 adds some tests and 
fixes the problem identified in this issue. I probably won't commit it until I 
can discuss with some other people.
