[issue3974] collections.namedtuple uses exec to create new classes

[Raymond Hettinger]

Raymond Hettinger <rhettinger at users.sourceforge.net> added the comment:

The current version is clear and maintainable.  There is nothing unholy
about using exec.  Earlier versions used other approaches and they
proved unnecessarily complex and had unexpected problems.  It is a key
feature for named tuples that they are exactly equivalent to a
hand-written class.

I appreciate your effort but am rejecting it flat-out.
