Draft JEP: Derived Record Creation (Preview)

[Maurizio Cimadamore]

Looking from another angle, I think an important distinction between 
creation and _derived_ creation is that in the latter case you have some 
"fallback" values to use if the `with` block doesn't specify transforms 
for all of them. In the plain creation case, since the object did not 
exist before, there is nothing to fall back to - other than the default 
value of course, which might be a surprising/lousy choice in some cases. 
So perhaps the similarity between these two cases is more superficial 
than it looks.
