Class::isHidden is intrinsified.  We could intrinsify Class::isRecord 
that is one of the options I considered.  This impacts Graal which I am 
finding out its implication if we want to target this for 15 (I think 
it's straight forward)

I'm trying to look for other options with less impact if any.
