That's what I thought you'd say. ;) It's basically syntactic sugar surrounding a generic record, so yes technically it is. It's just something I use so often I figure it warrants being included in the language itself. I use them in Swift, JavaScript, Python and PHP. It's very handy syntax and proven itself in the industry by 2020.
