Record component type can be an inner class of a record

[Gavin Bierman]

Thanks for pointing this out Remi. We definitely need to tweak the draft spec to deal with this scoping question. 

However, I am of the opinion that this example should not be allowed. I would expect the scope of things defined in a record body to be the record body. I don’t think the record header should be considered part of the body. Analogously:

class Foo<T extends Bar> {
    class Bar { … }
    …
}

This doesn’t work as the scope of the Bar declaration is the class body.

What do you think?
