Why not just put SimpleNamespace in the collections module? The one in

complexity of any kind.
I absolutely agree, and that's going to be the cornerstone of the
proposal :)
Seems sensible.
But at the same time as putting into collections, we can
also give it a much shorter name. Whatever happens, it's going to be
an exact alias for types.SimpleNamespace, which isn't going away.
In my mind, the current front-runners are:
* namespace
* ns
* thing
* mutableobject
* mobject
* attrobject
* bunch

What's wrong with "namespace"? None of the other names IMO convey the
intended/suggested use nearly as well.
