New issue 3314: Return a namedtuple for inserted_primary_key

Viktor Roytman:

Hello,

It's a bit annoying that the inserted_primary_key is a list instead of something with some useful metadata. If it were a namedtuple instead, a user could access the keys by name in addition to the existing method (by index).

The documentation for namedtuple even recommends usage like this:

*Named tuples are especially useful for assigning field names to result tuples returned by the csv or sqlite3 modules*

For what it's worth, psycopg2 allows for namedtuple cursors:

(from [https://docs.python.org/3/library/collections.html#collections.namedtuple](https://docs.python.org/3/library/collections.html#collections.namedtuple))
