Oh, I guess I should mention that Hash actually does something Bunch is 
not intended to -- it supports __getitem__ style access in addition to 
dotted-attribute (__getattr__) style access.  Bunch is intended only to 
support dotted-attribute style access, though it does support the 
one-way conversion of a mapping object to a Bunch.
