It's also the representation of a one-column result row, which is more
pertinent here.

Just because ‘str(foo) == str(bar)’, does *not* necessarily mean
‘type(foo) == type(bar)’, nor even ‘isinstance(foo, type(bar))’.

It's important to know that result rows are *not* tuples, and that
they have different (and more flexible) semantics.
