With the current records?
There are some obstacles, like the fact records allow polymorphic
recursion, makeing impossible to check structural equality.
Or the fact that the order of members is relevant, meaning that you
would only get a weak equality anyway.

New polymorphic records?
I would rather try to make objects easier to use, as they are
certainly more powerful. All the current discussion on IO suggests
that you cannot only define one minimal interface, but actually need a
hierarchy of interfaces.
