Here's the question for the high-performance implementors:

Way back, Pavel Curtis wrote on a possible implementation strategy for
record-type predicates in the presence of single inheritance:

It seems to me, we're basically precluding this strategy by assigning
immediately subsequent indices to the fields.  Is this a problem?
