These changes do not break compatibility with mdit-py-plugins, but tests will need to be updated there.

executablebooks/mdit-py-plugins#6 will fix mdit-py-plugins tests if this is merged.

This line actually seems to have a bug that we're fixing by using the immutable tuple 😄 Mutating tmpAttrs[i] here will also mutate token.attrs[i] because tmpAttrs is a copy, not a deep copy, of token.attrs.

Here's the fix in JS markdown-it markdown-it/markdown-it@c9949dd

If we don't end up merging this PR, we should do the same change.

This fix is now in merged in master of markdown-it-py btw

In fact, if we want to make Token.attrs even better, we could use a Dict[str, Any] as the underlying structure. Why markdown-it doesn't use an object is exlained here markdown-it/markdown-it#142 (comment) :

Because ordering makes sence for testing, and no needs to care about hacks like "proto" name and so on.

A Python 3.6 OrderedDict or Python 3.7+ dict doesn't suffer from any of the issues why the custom list structure was used for a mapping. Using a dict would likely result in a small performance increase.
