I wouldn't use that new feature.  I use record format exclusively unless I:
1) Want to wait on ICF I/O
2) Want to read the next record format, whatever it is (multi-format
logical)

This is an RPG trick that lets me see the unusual circumstance - the read
vs. file name stands out to me.  It would look very strange to me to see all
file names everywhere.  But I wouldn't object to having it added to the
language after full operational descriptor support... :-)
