Fixed bug #1620: New @spam.getter property syntax modifies the property in place.
I added also the feature that a @prop.getter decorator does not overwrite the doc string of the property if it was given as an argument to property().

In addition to the methods inherited from tuples, named tuples support
two additonal methods and a read-only attribute.

Return a new dict which maps field names to their corresponding values:

Since a named tuple is a regular Python class, it is easy to add or change
functionality. For example, the display format can be changed by overriding
the :meth:`__repr__` method:
