PatternHandle in record

Hi all,
ASM doesn't like too much weird method names,
exactly the ASMifier, that take a binary class and generate the Java code that will create the same binary class, doesn't work well with the method named "\%pattern\%RecordSubType\%(ILjava\|lang\|String\?)".
I have two questions:
- why do we need a description of a pattern inside a record class given that the Record attribute already provides that description (that is accessible using Class.getRecordComponents()) ?
A record is already able to describe itself, that's its purpose, why do we need another way of describing it ?
- why the method that return a PatternHandle is using a mangled name like this ?
Given that the constant dynamic also use the same encoding ??
