Why not use the built-in ‘dict’ type?

What does the new type do which isn't already better served by the
built-in ‘dict’ type?

(Note that “allow attribute-syntax access to dictionary items” does not
qualify as “better”, IMO; it qualifies as “needlessly confusing distinct
concepts”.)

I haven't seen a good pro/con discussion of the use case you're trying
to address :-)
