Hi Joel, Jean, Van Ly, and others...
What about this?
Consider these two styles of presenting structures:
1) (info "(cl)Structures")
2) (cl-defstruct myabc a b c)
(setq o (make-myabc :a 22 :c "44"))
(cl-prin1-to-string o)
The style (1) uses a lot of text and uses structures like this one,
(cl-defstruct person first-name age sex)
and the style (2) uses very little text and uses "abstract" names like
a, b, and c...
I've seen people who can't understand `a's, `b's, and `c's without
"examples from the real world" and people who are overwhelmed by the
extra connotation of terms "person", "first-name", "age", and "sex",
and who vastly prefer the style (2)...
Cheers,
Eduardo Ochs
