Summary

0004384: RFE: nested labels syntax for { ... with ... }

Description

In I have a nested record type and want to override a field in an interior record, I have to write something like:

{ r with field = { r.field with nested_field = expr }}

It would have been nice if a syntactic shortcut

{ r with field.nested_field = expr }

was available. I could of course always use camlp4, but it was nice if this was a part of the "official" syntax.
