In bpo-15003 Raymond recommended that types.SimpleNamespace be picklable. I'll get a patch up as soon as I can to add this capability.

I've attached a patch that gives types.SimpleNamespace pickle support. To do it I had to change the name of the type from "namespace" to "types.SimpleNamespace". That's fine.

I also added __eq__/ne support so I could use it during tests.
