Hi Vicente,

Must of the code has been reviewed but there have been some changes since reviewers saw it. Also this is the first time an integral webrev is sent out for review. Last changes on top of my mind since last review iterations:

This implied some changes in determining if a user defined constructor is the canonical or not. Now if a constructor is override-equivalent to a signature derived from the record components, then it is considered the canonical constructor. And any canonical constructor should satisfy a set of restrictions, see section 8.10.4 Record Constructor Declarations of the specification.
