Description
Unless I'm misunderstanding something, it appears that record creation is `O(n^2)` when we have all the information needed at compile time to statically allocate a `SmallMutableArray#` of known size right away and write all the elements into it, and avoid all the copying. Given one of the most appealing parts of this library is the `O(1)` field access even for large records it seems wasteful to make record creation so expensive (relatively). I'm imagining cases where I might be parsing a CSV file with millions of rows and that `O(n^2)` is going to add up quickly!
