Hlist is one of the ones | was thinking of. Two more are "poor man's records" a.k.a. Data.Record.hs, whose author certainly believes it should be the basis for the new system, and my own system, downloadable from http://homepage.ntlworld.com/b.hilken/files/Records.hs
There is a discussion of the various possibilities on the wiki http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/wiki/ExtensibleRecords which you are encouraged to contribute to!
Thanks, exactly the kind of pointer I had hoped for! I'll read up on the existing proposals.
Sorry about the lack of response on cafe, but I only read that when people say they are moving their discussion there.
No offense meant, you are right, I should have posted a redirection message here. Cheers Ben
