Summary: Introspection for records

Initial Comment:
I would like to ask for a new feature: an introspection
for records.

Sometimes it would is very useful to find out what are
fields of an arbitrary record. Imagine a situation
where one needs to describe a content of a public
accessible record fields. That would require an ability
to find out what fields exist and a possibility to
access those of them which have accessors.

In Java I would use a Reflection API for that. As far
as I see, it is not possible to do that for records in
Scheme. At least, the original SRFI does not provide
this functionality. But I would be happy even if this
functionality exists in SISC alone, because this
feature is planned to be used only in SISC-based software.


Thank you beforehand,
Denys
