added one more (and inserted tuple in the title so it shows in the query above: https://github.com/blockstack/stacks-blockchain/issues/1728)

Let's refer to these immutable unordered collections of labeled data values as records, which is the more accurate programming language terminology. In contrast to the concept in Clarity, tuples are generally ordered collections of data values grouping together a fixed number of values. See also the previous discussion and proposal to rename the Clarity concept from "tuple" to "record".
