Do you envisage that frames could become a drop-in replacement for the 
use of records in mnesia? Does that impact the need (or not) for a tag? 
A lot of my record handling code is as a result of retrieving records 
from tables. And indeed I just this second had to duplicate a function 
that works across several tables which I could have written once if 
based around frames or structs.
