"""
This module provides helpers for working with collections (as in abstract
base classes defined in the ``collections.abc`` standard Python module:
iterables, iterators, mappings, etc.).

Turn all mappings into :class:`Namespace` instances as needed.
:param value: Anything that may be a mapping or may be an iterable
that may hold a mapping.
:returns:
* The value itself, if it is a Namespace instance or is neither
a mapping, a sequence, a set, or an iterable;
* A :class:`Namespace` instance for a mapping;
* A list holding the result of calling :meth:`namespacify` on
every item for a sequence;
* A set holding the result of calling :meth:`namespacify` on
every item for a set;
* A ``map`` object applying :meth:`namespacify` on every item
for other iterables.

A subclass of ``dict`` which allows accessing items using attributes.
Attributes and items are kept in sync; deleting an item deletes the
attribute, and updating an item updates the attribute, and vice-versa.
Getting an attribute will call :meth:`namespacify` on the returned value,
to allow easier manipulation of complex structures such as JSON documents:
.. code:: python
>>> from objtools.collections import Namespace
>>> ns = Namespace({'foo': [{'bar': {'baz': 42}}]})
