It was a dumb example to try and come up with a small table that fits  
in a page. Another one I've seen a lot is [(1, "Yes"), (2, "No")].

These sorts of small tables are often necessary in systems that are  
entirely DB driven (you draw a form and tell it which query to  
execute to get the values in a drop-down list), and yes they are as  
annoying as they seem :-)
