Description
From call today: can we add some syntax like `pack {x=e;y=f} as r`, that elaborates to something like `let r = {x=e; y=f}; rewrite each e as r.x; rewrite f as r.y;` to comfortably use records? Or would it be enough to define a packing function for each given type? The latter alternative would not do any rewrite in the frame.

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. First compare the proposed `pack {x=e;y=f} as r` elaboration with the alternative per-type packing function, then establish the intended syntax, rewrite behavior, and acceptance criteria before identifying the implementation and tests.
