Thanks for the links. However, as far as I have understood by now,
the current Haskell98 record system is not broken but does not
support all desires that one could imagine. Some of these problems
could also occur if one implements records by hand. Thus, I think
a syntactic and compiler-checked support for a subset of a general
record system is better than nothing...

Michael
