Guido has decreed that namedtuple shall be reimplemented with speed in mind.
I haven't timed it (I'm hoping somebody will volunteer to be the bench mark

With respect Ethan, if you're going to offer up NamedTuple as a faster
version of namedtuple, you should at least do a quick proof of
concept to demonstrate that it actually *is* faster.
I suck at benchmarking, so thank you for providing those quick-and-dirty hints.
Full bench marking
can wait, but you should be able to do at least something like:
python3 -m timeit --setup "from collections import namedtuple" \
"K = namedtuple('K', 'a b c')"
546 usec
versus
python3 -m timeit --setup "from aenum import NamedTuple" \
"K = NamedTuple('K', 'a b c')"
250 usec
So it seems to be faster! :)
It is also namedtuple compatible, except for the _source attribute.
