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];
