This construct is not very good. make-record is not first-class (It
cannot be used as an argument to a function).
Its first argument is not first-class (it has to be statically the
name of a class).

It exposes an implementation detail to client code (the name of a class).

If you really wanted to add constructors, I would think of a
make-MyRecord function or
a multimethod as in your first post, or even both, rather than that.
