Based on implementation by Alex Martelli (http://mail.python.org/pipermail
/python-list/2002-July/112007.html).

To use:

class Point(Bunch):
    x = 0
    y = 0

p0 = Point()
assert p0.x == 0
assert p0.y == 0

p1 = Point(x=10, y=20)
assert p1.x == 10
assert p1.y == 20

    An instance of metaMetaBunch (a class whose metaclass is metaMetaBunch)
    defines only class-scope variables (and possibly special methods, but
    NOT __init__ and __repr__!).  metaMetaBunch removes those variables from
    class scope, snuggles them instead as items in a class-scope dict named
    __defaults__, and puts in the class a __slots__ listing those variables'
    names, an __init__ that takes as optional keyword arguments each of
    them (using the values in __defaults__ as defaults for missing ones), and
    a __repr__ that shows the repr of each attribute that differs from its
    default value (the output of __repr__ can be passed to __eval__ to make
    an equal instance, as per the usual convention in the matter).
