That's an important question. I've asked in the DORF proposal how big is the 
demand to update h-r fields?

Note that is something you can do currently with H98 records/fields.

Is it good enough to be able to extract and use h-r fields in polymorphic 
contexts? (Both SORF and DORF can do that.)

Is it good enough to be able to create records with h-r fields (using the data 
constructor)?  (Both SORF and DORF can do that.)
