Looks good.  A comment relating to Serialization, from section 8.10.1 - Record Components.

 As all record types are subclasses of the class java.lang.Record which in turn implements the interface java.io.Serializable, it is necessary to …


This is not true. j.i.Record does not implement Serializable. Not all records are serializable.

A record may be serializable, if it implements the java.io.Serializable interface, but it is not required. For example,

  record SerializableFoo (int x, int y) implements java.io.Serializable { }

Additionally, I thought that all serialization related magic members were to be restricted from being record component names ( they are just too odd and potentially confusing ) ? The spec has some, but not all. The complete list ( of 7 ) is:  writeObject, readObject, readObjectNoData, writeReplace, readResolve, serialVersionUID, serialPersistentFields.

-Chris.
