[erlang-questions] Self referencing records.

[Ludovic Coquelle]

I'm not sure to understand the undelying problem, but I think there is a
problem of syntax.
Is the following what you're looking for?

test() ->
    T = #object{class='Object', props=dict:new()},
    NewProps = dict:append("this", T, T#object.props),
    T#object{props=NewProps}.
