Good find, who'd have ever thought to look in argparse for something
like Namespace.. After some more poking around in the stdlib for
__init__ methods that take keyword args I found:

plistlib.Dict and plistlib.Plist

Both of them do the same thing as well as give access to the values
using [] notation. There are probably other examples in third party
libraries.
