What? Use cases matter? I'm *shocked*. :-/
Of all the methodologies I used since those dinosaurs-on-the-treadmill
days (you had *dinosaurs*; we had to evolve fish with legs to relieve us
from having to run on our own treadmills), use cases was the one I
continued to pull out long after that department went away.
If I have a larger project that uses 3D points, I *might* reach for a
named tuple, but if it's smaller and I know that there will only ever be
two points, then px, py, pz, qx, qy, and qz is good enough.
