	A read-only namespace of (key, value) pairs that can be accessed
	both as instance attributes and as dictionary items.  For example:

	>>> ns = NameSpace(dict(my_message='Hello world!'))
	>>> ns.my_message
	'Hello world!'
	>>> ns['my_message']
	'Hello world!'

	Keep in mind that Python doesn't offer true ready-only attributes. A
	NameSpace is read-only in that it prevents programmers from
	*accidentally* setting its attributes, but a motivated programmer can
	still set them.

	For example, setting an attribute the normal way will raise an exception:

	>>> ns.my_message = 'some new value'
	(raises exceptions.SetError)

	But a programmer could still set the attribute like this:

	>>> ns.__dict__['my_message'] = 'some new value'

	You should especially not implement a security feature that relies upon
	NameSpace being strictly read-only.
