Hmm.... I know that the code was changed at some point a few months ago
specifically to this behavior because of some concerns Perry, Chris
(people at STScI) had. Originally, field names came first, but we
changed it so they could set known attributes of a record array even if
they were also field names.
This may be an unintentional side-effect. So, let's not just change
things again and create problems for them.
