[mercury-users] record field access syntax

[Michael Day]

> What am I missing about this lovely syntactic sugar?

That it is indeed only syntactic sugar, and does not add destructive 
update of variables to the language.

	T = T0 ^ one := 3	% this will work

T0 is not modified, T gets its value but with the one field set to 3.
