All this talk about records got me thinking. I don't really like the current
syntax for record update (because it looks too much like function application)
but here is an extension to it which might be useful.
If you use nested records, many languages allow you to update the inner records
If you use lenses you can do this today with no real need to adulterate the
parser.
setL (l2 . l1) x rec
This goes one step further as it can be written point free so you don't even
have to give rec a name if you don't want to. ;)
