[plt-scheme] define-structure question

[Chris Wright <caw@cs.mu.oz.au>]

The help desk entry for define-structure isn't clear to me, and an example 
would help.


(define-structure (name-identifier field ...))      SYNTAX

Like define-struct, except that the name-identifier is moved inside the 
parenthesis for fields. In addition, a field can be assigned a default 
value expression, in which case the constructor function does not consume 
an argument for the field.

A field has one of the following forms:

    field-identifier
    (field-identifier init-expr)

um, so like this:


 > (define-structure (bike saddle (forks 2)  (wheels 2)))
define-structure: bad syntax


nope...:(

This shows, of course, that even reading the manual won't help some people ;)

an example would be great... and a mapping of the example to the help desk 
entry would show me where my interpretation of the english in the help desk 
went wrong.
