Question about records and overriding their "magic methods"

[David Alayachew]

Hello Amber Dev Team,

Let's say I have a record like the following.

record ComplexRecord(int blah /* and many more components */) {}

Next, let's say that I want to override my toString, to include some
derived information.

Obviously, putting the derived info into the toString is easy, but how do I
go about INCLUDING it with my original implementation of toString that was
magically created for me by Java?

If I try to fully recreate my toString, I run the risk of it becoming
out-of-date upon refactor. Best I can come up with is nesting another
record with the toString overloaded. Also not ideal.

Thank you for your time!
