Well if both the producer and the consumer of this value are your own
functions, you can use something other than a list. You can also implement a
length indexed list, or use such an implementation but it will be overkill
for this task, I think.

The two options are either implementing a wrapper type with three fields, or
using a 3-tuple.
I would use a 3-tuple in both the producer and consumer functions.

Best,
Ozgur
