This is accesor of the attribute of the record-vector R-V. In CHICKEN record-vector-ref (not the rv-ref) SRFI-17 compatible. Optional DEFAULT value is used if there is no attribute named #:NAME-k.

The rv-ref macro works like record-vector-ref, but if the value with #:NAME-k is a record-vector?, it looks for the value of the #:SUB-NAME-j attribute in it, recursively. The macro does not have a default return value, unlike record-vector-ref.

> ;; but no default value in rv-ref macro

;; if attribute is not present it returns False (use rv-attr? predicate before)
