Friday Finking: initialising values and implied tuples

Choose: (a).

In (b) I have a problem matching identifiers to values horizontally at a
glance and in (c) I have the same problem vertically: i.e. "is 3 the value for
residue or crude above/to-the-left?"

Cognitive burden slows down and fatigues.

Alternatively, if the data "fits together", use a `namedtuple` with kwarg
initialisation or structured data types like `dataclasses`.
