I've had occasion to write things like:

  for name, value, description in (
      ("cost", 42, "How much it cost"),
      ("status", 3141, "Status code from ISO-3.14159"),
      ...
      ):
    do_something(name, value)
    print(description)

I interpret Grant's statement as wanting the "table" to look like

  for name, value, description in (
      ("cost",   42,   "How much it cost"),
      ("status", 3141, "Status code from ISO-3.14159"),
      ...
      ):
    do_something(name, value)
    print(description)

which does give some modest readability benefits, but at a creation
cost I personally am unwilling to pay.
