 22.5 Structures
 ===============
 
 [FIXME: this is pasted in from Tom Lord's original guile.texi and should
 be reviewed]
 
    A "structure type" is a first class user-defined data type.  A
 "structure" is an instance of a structure type.  A structure type is
 itself a structure.
 
    Structures are less abstract and more general than traditional
 records.  In fact, in Guile Scheme, records are implemented using
 structures.
