We should be able to reference items of a record by index.

Problem with that is that records are inherently unordered.
{name: "Michelle", phone: "800-555-1212"} is identical to
{phone: "800-555-1212", name: "Michelle"}
(You can already do this with plist files.)
But those are properties, not records. They look the same, but they
are not the same.
