Sounds good to me but not sure is there anyone using '* as a field name of
records. (It's not practical but theoretically possible.)

I've just noticed (silly me) that I needed to create 2 wrapping procedures

for box like:

(define (bref box _) (unbox box))
(define (bset! box _ value) (set-box! box value))

Then register them using SRFI-17 and the register-getter-with-setter!

procedure.

It might be better to mention this type of use case.

Cheers,
