;;; struct.el --- Helpers for working with structs -*- lexical-binding: t -*-

;; Author: William Carroll <wpcarro@gmail.com>
;; Version: 0.0.1
;; Package-Requires: ((emacs "24.3"))

;;; Commentary:
;; Provides new macros for working with structs.  Also provides adapter
;; interfaces to existing struct macros, that should have more intuitive
;; interfaces.
;;
;; Sometimes `setf' just isn't enough.
