Migrated from rdflib issues, posted by drewpca

graph.query returns a sequence of tuples, but for almost no cost, and full
backward compatibility, they could be collections.namedtuple objects instead.

Then we can write code like this:

for row in graph.query("SELECT ?huge ?list ?of ?vars ..."):
print row.huge, row.vars
print repr(row) # nicer than before

I would expect unbound variables to still be in the tuple, as they are now.

After my recent query result changes this actually is again an rdflib issue - but it's a good idea, and it's simple to implement. I'll have a look.
