I tried several implementations: (1) Only `hasOrigins(FD->getType())` check for field (2) `isAccessedField(FD) && hasOrigins(FD->getType())` (3) `(FD->getAccess() == AS_public || isAccessedField(FD)) && hasOrigins(FD->getType())` (the current implementation)

(1) created origins for more records and it incured more regression (+0.18% -> +0.46%).
(2) produced False Positives. This is because it breaks the narrowing logic in `VisitMemberExpr`. I have a comment to explain this:
```cpp
    // A record can also be used as a whole (e.g. `s.inner`) while none of its
    // own fields (e.g. `s.inner.v`) are accessed. Narrowing that use still
    // needs the record to have origins (otherwise the use also keeps a sibling
    // like `s.v` live), so a public field with origins provides them even when
    // unaccessed.
```
(3) The current implementation. It fixed the FPs. But it seems still not ideal since it coupled the narrowing logic in a more general function (i.e., `hasOrigins`).
