Re: Scala Object Notation ( SCON? )

Another related thing I wish for is some lightweight
syntax for using case classes as immutable records,
(in Haskell-style, among others).

So following your example I would like to do:

   val p = Person {
     name = "Peter"
     age = 20
     ...
   }

   val q = p { name = "Rickard" }

where p gets all the attributes from p, with the
name updated. I would find this very useful. Any
suggestions for doing something similar without
any new special syntax?

   / Rickard
