FWIW, I think namedtuple is overused.  Not that there's anything 
innately wrong with namedtuple; it's just that I think too many types 
are iterable which shouldn't be.  (Nobody unpacks the stat_result 
anymore, that's like 1995 man.)  I suggest people use 
types.SimpleNamespace unless iterability is specifically required.
