I agree. Actually, I'd go further.

IsRecordFullyDefinedInTranslationUnit should be a static helper function in
the file, not a member of Sema. Then the two sets and a Sema& can be passed
to it.

You can find lots of similar static helper functions that accept a Sema& as
their first argument and use them as examples.
