Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] records: match-record supports specifying a different variable name.

From: Attila Lendvai <[email-masked]>
Date: Wed, 21 Dec 2022 23:14:55 -0300

An example:

(match-record obj <my-type>
  (field1 (field2 custom-var-name) field3)
  ...)

* guix/records.scm (match-record-inner): Add support for the new syntax.
* tests/records.scm ("match-record, simple"): Add a simple test case for the
new syntax.
