This is something I am not sure about. I tried using plain <record-type> as
constructor instead of make-<record-type>, but got into annoying
conflicts, because I tended to also use <record-type> as the most
natural local variable name.

So while I initially objected to make-<record-type>, I now see it as the
better option. I just wish I had autocomplete for it when typing
<record-type> TAB.

Best wishes,
Arne
