*Maybe* the "built-in status" should guide the capitalization, so only built-in types are lowercase (str, int, dict etc.).
That makes sense.
Anyway, it seems the collections module in particular is already internally inconsistent -- NamedTuple vs. defaultdict.
FWIW, namedtuple() is a factory function that creates a class, it isn't a class itself. There are no instances of namedtuple(). Most functions are all lowercase. Don't know if that applies to factory functions too.
