Although not a standard container feature, the `NameSpace.__call__()` method
- provides a convenient (and efficient) way to iterate through the members,
- like an ordered version of the ``dict.itervalues()`` method. For example:
+ provides a convenient (and efficient) way to iterate through the *members*
+ (as opposed to the member names). Think of it like an ordered version of

>>> list(ns[name] for name in ns) # One way to do it
[Member(0), Member(1), Member(2)]
- >>> list(ns()) # A more efficient, less verbose way to do it
+ >>> list(ns()) # A more efficient, simpler way to do it
[Member(0), Member(1), Member(2)]
- As another convenience, the `NameSpace.__todict__()` method will return a
