So what I was really starring at all the time was a tuple rather than a record
projection:
(* second example - type level tuple projection - compiles *)
con tt_type_name = (int, #A)
val x : tt_type_name.1 = 7
Is there a reason why no record projections exist?
Yes: the kind of a type-level tuple tells you which indices are valid to
project from it, while the kind of a type-level record doesn't. This
difference isn't fundamental to tuples vs. records; it just happens to
be what's implemented in Ur/Web today.
