you list Ocaml here, but that C4 is _precisely_ what Ocaml does (and in
my earlier list of options, where I tired to be more systematic about
option names, i was called “Ocaml”):

   utop # type r = { x : int };;
   type r = { x : int; }
   utop # let r = { x = 0 };;
   val r : r = {x = 0}
   utop # let f : int -> int = fun n -> n;;
   val f : int -> int = <fun>
   utop # f r .x;;
   - : int = 0


Cheers,
Joachim
