This may be my poor memory. I recall a feature of the Alsys Ada compiler
where it would translate an arbitrary Ada record into a textual
equivilant. If my memory serves it was something like...

record_type'image(value)

and the result would be

(attribute_name_1 => value, attribute_name_2 => value, ... )

Does anyone know if there is an equvilant feature in VADS? Is there any
easy way to write it?
