I'd like to repeat Guido's question: Why does this still need to support
the tuple interface (i.e. indexed access)?
I'm not (anymore) sure that you are aware that the os.stat result
*already* has named fields, in addition to the indexed access. However,
the indexed access is deprecated, and only preserved for backwards
compatibility. So why would a new type be handy for os.stat?
And, if it's not for os.stat, what other uses does it have?
Regards,
Martin
