It woudl be easier for make-record-type records, since printing those
already prints out the fields.  So it's just a matter of checking for
classes that extend kawa.lang.Record.

Something similar could be done for SRFI-9 records, but it might take some changes
in how they are implemented, to better support introspection.  Using Java
reflection is possible, though maybe expensive.
