    I don't find subjective cosmetics arguments like these to be compelling in any way.

I realize cosmetic arguments are always subjective. But at the same time...

import Company (Company(company_name, company_owner))
import Person ( Person(person_id, person_name, person_age)
              , NewPerson(new_person_name, new_person_age)
              )

person_name person
person_name $ company_owner company
print . person_name $ company_owner company
Person { person_id = 5, person_name = "foo", person_age = 15 }
create $ NewPerson { new_person_name = "foo", new_person_age = 15 }

Now becomes:

import Company (Company)
import Person (NewPerson, Person)

person.name
company.owner.name
print company.owner.name
Person { id = 5, name = "foo", age = 15 }
create $ NewPerson { name = "foo", age = 15 }

Lets be honest with ourselves here about which is easier to read and more aesthetically pleasing.
