Given the following record:

    public record Range(int lo, int hi) {}

Javac generates 2 FieldRef constants for either field. javap -c Range.class:

public final class Range extends java.lang.Record {
  public Range(int, int);
    Code:
       0: aload_0
       1: invokespecial #1 // Method java/lang/Record."<init>":()V
       4: aload_0
       5: iload_1
       6: putfield #7 // Field lo:I
       9: aload_0
      10: iload_2
      11: putfield #13 // Field hi:I
      14: return
  ...

  public int lo();
    Code:
       0: aload_0
       1: getfield #16 // Field lo:I
       4: ireturn

  public int hi();
    Code:
       0: aload_0
       1: getfield #17 // Field hi:I
       4: ireturn
}

Note that the constructor and accessors use different FieldRef constants (#7 -> #16, #13 -> #17), while for a regular class these would be the same FieldRef constant. The extra FieldRef constant in the case of the record seems to be redundant.
