Extensible record

A problem where some concepts of extensible records could be useful is described in the HaskellDB project. More precisely, the problem is described in the paper downloadable from

• Chalmers version of HaskellDB (see Papers subsection on Documentation)
• which presupposes reading also paper on the Daam Leijen's original HaskellDB page (see Documentation subpage, PostScript version)

Proposals, implementations can be found on the FirstClassLabels page of Haskell' Wiki.
