Many times in the olden days when I needed a bag o' attributes to be passed
around like a struct I'd make a dummy class, then instantiate it. (A lot harder
than the javascript equivalent.)
Unfortunately, the modern Python solution:
from types import SimpleNamespace as ns
is only a few characters shorter. Perhaps a 'ns()' or 'bag()' builtin alias
could fit the bill.
Another idea I had not too long ago, was to let an object() be writable, then no
further changes would be necessary.

This is an excellent point. Perhaps we should just find a shorter name
for SimpleNamespace and promote it as the solution.
