In tri.struct we have a class Frozen
https://github.com/TriOptima/tri.struct/blob/master/lib/tri/struct/__init__.py
that can be used to freeze stuff. I think something like this would be even
better in the standard library, especially now with data classes! If we had
this frozendict would just be:
class frozendict(dict, Frozen):
pass
