I'm missing something here... To give an analogy, this seems to be like
saying, when programming in C,
struct {
int a;
int b;
double c;
} rddf;
that the primary access to struct members should be by writing their
datatype (int/double):
rddf.double
and that use of the member name (a/b/c) should only be used if necessary to
disambiguate:
rddf.int[sort=b];
