Record component type can be an inner class of a record

[Brian Goetz]

It is kind of weird, though, when Bar is not static, since you can't 
create a Bar without having a Foo in hand, and you can't create a Foo 
without a Bar.  You could cheat and do this:

     Foo f = new Foo(null);
     Bar b = f.new Bar(...);
     Foo ff = new Foo(b);

but I doubt anyone will find this technique useful for anything other 
than a puzzler...
