[r6rs-discuss] Record Types

I'm a little late to the discussion -- sorry if this has been covered,
but:

I'm a bit concerned that the record values don't serve as namespaces for
their fields or accessors. As I read it, there's no direct way to
access a field of a record value using the record value and the field
name, though you may be able to do it using inspection to recover the
rtd and all the ancestor rtds.

Is this correct?

I realize that this may seem harmless and consistent with how non-record
types are handled, but I would consider it a significant flaw.
