By 'rows' I meant the type of that name referred to in say
François Pottier, "A Constraint-Based Presentation and Generalization of Rows"
(available from http://pauillac.inria.fr/~fpottier/biblio/pottier.html).
The sub-typing of classes and of rows seem to me to be highly related. Treating classes as rows would seem to me to
allow the kind of polymorphism that is being asked for in this thread (ie with no need for explicit coercions).
