Ah! So, the `f` means that I'm not doing the name-value pairs. Thank you!

It will always print as f, as far as I know, but it serves a purpose if you're writing code: specifically, it allows you to do a literally initialized tuple based on slot names and values, rather than always using boa form. E.g., given
 
    TUPLE: triplet a b c ;
 
then these are all equivalent:
 
    T{ triplet f 1 2 3 }
    T{ triplet { a 1 } { c 3 } { b 2 } }
    1 2 3 triplet boa
