If you think of it, collection.namedtuple *is* a metaclass.  A simple
wrapper will make it usable as such:

import collections

def namedtuple(name, bases, attrs, fields=()):
        # Override __init_subclass__ for Python 3.6
        return collections.namedtuple(name, fields)

class Foo(metaclass=namedtuple, fields='x,y'):
    pass

print(Foo(1, 2))   # ---> Foo(x=1, y=2)
