I'm not sure about you mean, but I'd need references in order to pass easily
pass inode records. One inode record weighs ~ 80 bytes, passing them to
procedures costs too much. And storing them within an array really costs a
lot of resources when accessing them.

As far as I could see, it works pretty well and really helps having an clean
code. This only new issue I could find, which I reported to Kyle via
jallist, was when a record stores an array, and you want to access this
array like in:

for count(the_record.the_array) loop
...
en loop


another older "issue" is it's not possible to alias a record variable:

alias bla is the_record.bla


Cheers,
Seb
