On looking closer, all these cases fail because I forgot to teach
IsBinaryCoercible() that any composite type should be considered
binary-coercible to RECORD. Which is clearly sensible.
I'm inclined to apply the patch with binary-coercibility adjustments
and not try to turn RECORD or RECORD[] into full-fledged polymorphic
types. It's not immediately clear what the use of that would be
anyway.
