How to implement a record de-constructor ?

[Maurizio Cimadamore]

Just a digression on your premise - it's true that records hide a bit of 
the need for explicit deconstruction; but if you are a fan of the 'you 
don't need abstract records' camp (as I am :-)), I believe that means 
that you have to make up for the lack of abstract records with some kind 
of custom extractors - so there's some kind of tension between these two 
types of complexities (extension mechanism vs. explicit destructuring) 
here.
