We could add methods to records that let yoi specify the target type:
```x.name[String]```
It's unclear though how this could be converted into case classes
automatically, for example.
Another option would be to query the DB at compile time (throgh a
`EXPLAIN`). It is a requirement anyway to have a DB aligned with the code, so
making a DB available at compile time is just a matter of configuration.
On the other hand, in terms of "determinism" of what the compiler yields,
this is sub-optimal.
