> If SimpleNamespace were to become a builtin, what should its name be?

Just to have the obvious out of the way:

* obj() - fits with most other builtins in that they are abbreviations
and 3-4 letters
* data() - same, might be confused with dataclass
* container()
* values()

Most of these are likely *widely used* as variables already, but at
least they are descriptive. :)


(As a related point, this could become really nice to use if we ever
got an "auto" return type. Most of the time the return type *name* of
a single-use function is largely important and annoying to have to
define in a different place from its usage, but I'd still like to have
it type checked.
