I misread this, sorry. This might work for collections.namedtuple, but
is probably not worth the hassle or churn of changing it.

The main reason I switched to ast for namedlist is because generating
the text version of __new__ or __init__ with default parameter values
was extremely difficult, so an approach of exec-ing that one function
wouldn't work for me.

Eric.
