But directly calling a __xxx__ method in Python is a very

be the expected way to call a method on a class.
Can't namedtuple be improved to support the named fields _and_
have as_dict() and replace() without leading underscores ?
How would that work if you had a field named "replace"? I think
Raymond's current design is as good as it's going to get.
'as_dict' is an unlikely fieldname. 're_place' is too, but that just
shift the '_' from '_replace'. No gain. I might prefer _asdict to
_as_dict, but not enough to change.
