Not quite. Even though Sugg. #3 would allow me to do:

   object(x=3)

this wouldn't work:

   object().x = 3

However, these would continue working:

   types.SimpleNamespace(x=3)
   types.SimpleNamespace().x = 3

Also, assuming Sugg. #3, would this work:

   object(x=3).y = 2

as this does:

   types.SimpleNamespace(x=3).y = 2
