Research direction

Start by locating the quadgk entry point and the related “friends” that return tuples. Check existing coverage for tuple-style results, then verify that results expose .integral and .error while remaining usable with positional tuple access.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

enhancement

Rather than returning a tuple, it would be nice if quadgk and friends returned a named tuple (; integral = …, error = …).

This would make the output easier to read, you could do e.g. quadgk(...).integral instead of quadgk(...)[1], and it should be mostly backwards compatible because named tuples can also be used just like tuples.
