This will be an education problem with value types in general, records
or not. In fact, in the early days of value types, we observed that,
because value types can have a more sensible default
equals/hashCode/constructor/etc, we were worried that people might
select value types for syntactic reasons. Hence, in part, splitting
records off and doing them first, and making it clear that the record
axis is orthogonal to the value axis. Of course, people may be confused
about these new concepts anyway.
