Avoid newbie record redundancy?

[Damien Katz]

Is the following also acceptable, both functionally
and stylewise? I find this more readable, but most
code I see written uses the when clause and
is_record().

match_queue(MasterQueue) ->
 receive
   { msgPeerMaster, #rcdPeerMaster{} = A } ->
      match_queue(queue:in(A, MasterQueue));
   _ ->
      ?elog("HELP!~n", [])
    end.
