Others have written enough about the troublesome pah of advertising
syntactical parsing of all sorts of languages. I, too, vote for
line-based selection in addition.

Another problem I have with record now is that it's hard to visually
identify the chunk you're asked about.  A nice solution would be a
configurable pager-mode like using less(1).

And even a last-chance edit option would be nice so that when at the
last file you notice something's still not right you don't have to go
through the whole record process again (possibly selection only
particular chunks from many different files).
