I don't know .. only one way to find out... :)
More precisely, can we parse:
(a=1, b=2) // anonymous struct = record
Then we could allow X(1,2) to be written X(a=1,b=2), if the compiler
just generates a record->struct constructor as well as the existing
tuple->struct constructor.
BTW: underneath a records, structs, classes and tuples are all
represented by C structs.
