when compiling the test program below I get the error message:

/home/eleberg/test.erl:none: internal error in expand_module;
crash reason: {function_clause,[{dict,fetch_val,[a_record,[]]},
{sys_pre_expand,record_test,5},
{sys_pre_expand,expr,3},
{sys_pre_expand,guard_tests,3},
{sys_pre_expand,guard,3},
{sys_pre_expand,clauses,2},
{sys_pre_expand,function,5},
{sys_pre_expand,forms,2}|
more]}
/home/eleberg/test.erl:5: Warning: function a/1 is unused


i much prefer the error message:

/home/eleberg/test.erl:3: record a_record undefined

which i get with only 1 is_record() (ie, no ''or'' clause in the guard)
