Known Subclasses:

A base object derived from dict that is used for various records. Existing code can just continue to treat it as a dict. New code can treat it as dict, as well as access via attribute names (ie object["foo"] or object.foo). attribute name access will always give a result includes None if the name is not in the dict.

As a bonus this class includes checking of attribute names and types in non-production runs. That will help catch typos etc. For production runs we may be receiving data that was written out by a newer version of BitPim so we don't check or error.
