What Pete wants to do would be easily doable with pseudo records since the
compiler produces constants instead of true fields for the record. That can
give us a possible workaround for true records:

// unrem below to see the difference
/*
begin record totoRec
dim x as int
end record : _totoRec = Sizeof(totoRec)
*/

window 1

compile long if def _totoRec
print "toto record is here"
compile xelse
print "no toto record for you"
compile end if
