Description

Would it be possible to define default StructType for NamedTuples as StructTypes.OrderedStruct()? Or are there any obvious conflicts I'm not seeing? It seems like the problems that might arise because of this are similar to those described in #61, but I am unable to come up with any other StructType for NamedTuples, that might be of use.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing NamedTuple handling and the concerns discussed in issue #61; the payload does not identify files or tests. Determine whether OrderedStruct is an appropriate default and document the conflicts or compatibility implications. Done means the design question has a resolved implementation direction.
