The reason I liked "row" as a name is because it resembles
"vector" and hence is loosely assocaited with the concept of a tuple
as well as being familiar to database users. In fact the answer to a
relational query was, I believe, originally formally defined as a
set of tuples.
Is the intent that these things preserve order?
In the sense that the parameters to __init__(), the appearance in the
repr, the order of the returned tuple in as_tuple(), and the order of
comparisons will be the same as the order that the fields are defined,
then yes.
