+Explanation: You can only access fields on records, like this:
+
+
+ ┌─────────────────────────────────┐
+ │ { foo = True, bar = "ABC" }.foo │ This is valid ...
+ └─────────────────────────────────┘
+
+
+ ┌───────────────────────────────────────────┐
+ │ λ(r : { foo : Bool, bar : Text }) → r.foo │ ... and so is this
+ └───────────────────────────────────────────┘
+
+
+... but you can only access fields if they are present
+
+For example, the following expression is $_NOT valid:
+
+ ┌─────────────────────────────────┐
+ │ { foo = True, bar = "ABC" }.qux │
+ └─────────────────────────────────┘
+ ⇧
+ Invalid: the record has no ❰qux❱ field
+
+You tried to access a field named:
+
+↳ $txt0
+
+... but the field is missing because the record only defines the following fields:
+
+↳ $txt1
