[plt-scheme] Boxing in MzScheme
From manual: "MzScheme provides boxes, which are records that have a single
field."
I wonder, why one-field record is such important so it has its own
construction? :))
Or maybe boxing has some special usage?
I'm knowing about boxing in .NET, where it is used to wrap "simple" data
types like integers into Object.
Maybe something similar?

As between the skulking and furtive poacher, who hunts for the sake of meat,
and the honest gentleman shooter, who kills for the pleasure of sport, I
find
the former a higher type of humanity.
