Seconded.
Symmetric record catenation, as opposed to extensibility by one field
at a time, would make the Haskell even nicer for database work.
AFAICS it's the best way to type a relational join.
On the assumption that noone wants symmetric record catenation more
than I, I'm in the process(*) of formulating it as an addition to Mark
Jones's "Typing Haskell in Haskell".
(*) ETA some time this year. Probably. It's a hobby.
