Not sure I like that better. It's an open-ended sequence of homogeneous types. What's the advantage of a tuple? I don't want to blindly follow existing APIs.
So people don't modify it, but consenting adults would say "don't do that". I currently return a new tuple in each call to fields(), but in the future I might return the same one every time (per class).
I really don't care so much. The only reason I made any change was because the implementation was returning an OrderedDict, so I was changing the tests anyway. I'm happy to change it back to a list, based on the convention of homogeneous types being in a list.
