A language feature to unbundle data at will (short paper)

Programming languages with sufficiently expressive type systems provide users with different means of data ‘bundling’. Specifically, in dependently-typed languages such as Agda, Coq, Lean and Idris, one can choose to encode information in a record either as a parameter or a field. For example, we can speak of graphs over a particular vertex set, or speak of arbitrary graphs where the vertex set is a component. These create isomorphic types, but …
