* The syntax is now backwards compatible with SRFI-9, and supports new useful variations. * I have cleaned up the specification a bit, and added some more explanation and rationale. * Some operations have been renamed, e.g. update is now record-update. * The reference implementation has been simplified somewhat. * I have dropped pattern matching. A separate SRFI on this will hopefully follow soon. * I have dropped introspection/generic operations on records. While I realize that this is useful, and have received some very good suggestions both online and privately, I think the design space is too large to come to a reasonable consensus in a reasonable time. I would invite anyone who is interested to submit a separate SRFI for this later... Regards Andre
