To be clear, I meant the case that the output is by

 Return a, b, c

My opinion is that the phrase "a tuple `(a,b,c)` where ..." is just 
redundant. Anyway I guess that different people have different opinions 
about this as well.

This is ugly. By your previous opinion, wouldn't you prefer this?

OUTPUT: a tuple of ``(a,b,c)`` where

- ``a`` is ...

- ``b`` is ...

- ``c`` is ...

I think that the guideline of this thread combined with your one-liner 
style for OUTPUT allows this.
