Re: [heycam/webidl] No seemingly consistent Shepherd story (#240)

I'm not sure that's really helping.

We have `record<Foo>` in syntax. Whenever a value is passed to an algorithm that uses that syntax in its IDL description, that value is converted into what we call a "record". Same as `sequence<Foo>` is syntax and passing a JavaScript Array to an algorithm that uses the sequence syntax results in a "sequence". They are not just keywords, they are not just types, they are also used to refer to instances.

Currently IDL defines "record type" and "record" as things and does various other things for other types. It's still not clear to me what the strategy is for getting this all straightened out.
