Are their returned value, i.e the field names and their types

If they are not, how to get sync-ed pairs (name, type)?
If they are, why we need two separate calls, which cause
confusion.
Yes, in the same order and of the same length. You need two
because they're not calls (and the results are not "return
values"), they're tuples constructed out of compile-time type
information, and the former (FieldNameTuple) has to generate new
symbols, which may not be desirable in cases when you don't need
the names.
