Subject: [bug#54652] [PATCH 2/2] guix: MATCH-RECORD supports (FIELD-NAME VARIABLE-NAME) forms.
Date: Thu, 31 Mar 2022 14:52:31 +0200

E.g. (match-record obj <type> (field1 (field2 var-name)) ...)

* guix/records.scm (match-record/fields): Implement it.
---

a real world example i was facing: a field name is the same
as an object constructor, and thus shadows it in a
match-record form, unless a different variable name is chosen.
