Question about style: is there any preference between what Bengt wrote, and:

	is_name_and_age(#person{name = Name, age = Age}, Name, Age) -> true;
	is_name_and_age(_,_,_) -> false.

In fact, I think I like Bengt's better, since it is more clear about intent,
but I'd have written it as the latter figuring that that was more idiomatic.
Are records in match specifications out of favor?  (To a certain extent, if
they are, good.)
