Hi,

Are all boxed types (int32/int64/nativeint/float) automatically
unboxed in any given record type?

Since it seems records have same representation as tuples, would this
apply to tuples too?

Kindest Regards,

Jonathan

Only all-float records are unboxed. Not tuples or any of the other types that 
you've listed.
