The punchline of Wes Turner's notebook (very well put together, thank you!)
seems to partly be that if you find yourself wanting to work with the
position of items in a dict, you might want to consider using a
pandas.Series (with it's .iloc method).

A difficulty that immediately came to mind with this advice is type hinting
support. I was just googling yesterday for "how to type hint using pandas"
and the only thing I found is to use pd.Series and pd.DataFrame directly.

But those don't support type hinting comparable to:

Dict[str, float]

Or:

class Vector(TypedDict):
    i: float
    j: float

This is a big downside of the advice "just use pandas". Although I love
using pandas and use it all the time.
