Comment (by AntC):

 @gidyn, I don't see what that proposal has to do with dot as postfix
 function apply (?)

 This dot as ... idea is not the same as in TDNR -- despite spj's first
 comment 6 years ago. Dot as ... is purely syntactic sugar for function
 apply, with type-directed resolution as per standard class/instance
 semantics.

 There's already too many proposals for records (and related enablers),
 without mixing them up.
