But isn't one of the main themes of this SRFI that the R6RS's record-type-descriptor and parent-rtd are lame because sophisticated optimizing compilers don't need them because they can do compile-time flow analysis on the run-time variables to figure out optimizations (such as what Will has described elsewhere in his criticisms of the R6RS records)? With a system that does not do such flow analysis optimization, isn't there a performance concern over record constructors, accessors, and mutators? It's been my impression that this SRFI is aimed at state-of-the-art compilers, which I like, because I want technological advancement.
This is aimed at ERR5RS, not R6. -elf
