Description

Fire nicely prints a dict of dicts using one line per inner dict. When I try to do the same with dict of namedtuples (which otherwise behave like dicts after #161), I just get a help page listing all the dict keys. When I specify a dict key, then that namedtuple is printed. I would prefer all namedtuples in the dict to be printed when no key is specified.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Trace how Python Fire displays namedtuples versus dicts. Look at the code path that handles dict of namedtuples without a key, and compare with dict of dicts to find the discrepancy.
