"Better"is highly subjective in this context. There are several alternatives:
Bunch
Generic
Record
DataRecord
I use "DataRecord" in my own code, because it's readable and makes it
clear that it's not a full fledged class, but a data-only structure.
Given my Pascal roots, I'm also fond of "Record". But given that many
people actually loathe Pascal (probably for reasons deeply rooted in a
bad academic experience :-), that may be a big "turn off".
