Yes, that's what I mean. Probably retval or whatever people prefer would be adequate, with a special rule if that name is taken.
I think btw. that using StructSequence(somename=sometype, ..., ) that does a dict lookup is quite appealing. It returns a class like stat_result, but the function call shows its arguments (see answer to Ronald).

Just a little comment: there is a (vague) plan to add a feature (key types) to the type system that will allow user-defined constructs similar to NamedTuple (for example StructSequence you mention). However, taking into account current schedule it is unlikely it will be added before mid-2020, so your best bet is indeed using ad-hoc named tuples.
Interesting! Can I read something more about this? I'm curious ;-)
Some preliminary ideas were discussed at one of recent typing summits, see https://paper.dropbox.com/doc/Type-system-improvements--AfxnxPOd_hhYvtamiI9n... -- Ivan
