Yes, but these predicates already exist and are used extensively
throughout the compiler.  Changing every call to one of these
predicates to use the record syntax would be a lot of work for very
little benefit.  The change that Tom has made is sufficient to allow
fields to be added/removed from the code_info much more easily in the future.
