Summary: add Bunch type to collections module

Initial Comment:
This patch adds a proposed Bunch type to the
collections module which complements Python's dict
type, which provides a name-value mapping through the
__getitem__ protocol, with the Bunch type, which
provides an attribute-value mapping through
dotted-attribute access.

Example:
>>> x = Bunch(spam=Bunch(rabbit=1, badger=[2, 3, 4]),
ham='neewom')
>>> x.spam.badger
[2, 3, 4]
>>> x.ham
'neewom'

Would someone be willing to provide the motivation for
adding this class? I'm certainly willing to listen, but I'm
not convinced this is worth adding to the std library. (I
guess that's a -0 vote.)

Let me add that the main functionality consists in the easy
initializing and updating (otherwise, you just could use an
empty class).

I'm +1 on the class, but I would call it `bunch'.
