I think the main reason to keep them separate is that it makes it
easier to compare record_cmp to record_image_cmp and record_eq to
record_image_eq to see what the differences and similarities are.
Other reasons are that I think all those conditionals inside a
combined function would get messy and make the logic harder to
understand.  The number of places that would need conditionals,
plus new wrappers that would be needed, would mean that the net
reduction in lines of code would be minimal.
