a nuisance that you can't instantiate an 'object',
to use as a mutable 'namespace', but instead have to define an arbitrary
empty class.
What happened to the 'namespace' proposal ?

These return a guesstimation as to whether an object passed in supports
the mapping and sequence protocols.
These protocols are loosely defined. Any obje
