Description

Currently, there's no documentation regarding frozen/non-frozen types.

Also, a tuple is mentioned after the definition of UDT: "tuples can be though as anonymous UDT with anonymous fields". Since in the code base a UDT is an extension of a tuple, it would be nice to invert these in the docs.

This issue addresses both topics.
