Description
Nested record types:
https://github.com/rescript-lang/rescript/pull/7241
Outline:
- Why do we need this? Describe how it is especially useful for writing bindings where the nested record types tend to not be used outside of their parent record anyways.
- Describe how this is only syntactical sugar (behind the scenes there are still record types with their own names created)
- Add some real-world examples, could be just from a bindings library
