Better defaults for asdict/astuple #705
Description
-
Would it be acceptable to change the default value for
retain_collection_typestoTrue? This would reduce the likelihood of this issue to appear unexpectedly. It is not a full fix though. -
Would it be ok to use
tupleas default collection type, whenretain_collection_types=False? I would expect this to completely resolve the issue.

I think retain=True makes a lot of sense.
As much as I love tuples (and immutable data in general), it seems risky to (essentially) auto-convert lists to tuples. I imagine there's too much code out there that relies on the Python-wide "default" of mutable container types. It would work fine for my use cases, though.
