Building with Dune in release mode fails with:

Warning 18: this type-based record disambiguation is not principal.

```

This is a warning to help keep the code futureproof, quoting from its
documentation:
Check information path during type-checking, to make sure that all types are
derived in a principal way. When using labelled arguments and/or polymorphic
methods, this flag is required to ensure future versions of the compiler will
be able to infer types correctly, even if internal algorithms change. All
programs accepted in -principal mode are also accepted in the default mode with
equivalent types, but different binary signatures, and this may slow down type
checking; yet it is a good idea to use it once before publishing source code.
