the result of {{hello:"goodbye"}} as string ... is a bug, according to Chris Nebel. The fact that it can be made into a record was pointed out by Victor Yee and is probably a related bug. As Chris pointed out, the first bug will be eliminated (drat! this "bug" is very useful...) and the second bug (assuming its actually a bug) will probably be eliminated as well (again drat! manipulation of raw data in a string which can then be converted to a record is very useful), so the trick of constructing a record from strings using "{{+class usrf;:{"hello", "goodbye"}}} as string as record" will break down in some future version of Applescript.

If it's any consolation, I'll try to not fix the bug before introducing a sane way to do the same thing. I understand the desire, but the current method gives me the willies.
