Hi Andy,

It seems to me that there is confusion caused by the absence of
the field names:

So all values look OK, however they're terribly confusing. wouldn't you
prefer to propose a patch to name them instead ? This would be safer,
especially if the structure evolves in the future.

Thanks!
Willy
