23.0.50; url-generic-parse-url returns extra element

[Lennart Borgman (gmail)]

url-generic-parse-url now adds an extra element cl-struct-url at the 
beginning of the vector returned. To see this evaluate

   (url-generic-parse-url "http://www.no.se/")

I am using the TYPE value in the returned vector and need to know where 
it is. The doc string currently says:

   url-generic-parse-url is a compiled Lisp function in `url-parse.el'.
   (url-generic-parse-url url)

   Return a vector of the parts of url.
   Format is:
   [TYPE USER PASSWORD HOST PORT FILE TARGET ATTRIBUTES FULL]

How 'bout using `url-type' ?

Hmm.. indeed it needs fixing.

Hm, guess that this mysterious beast can do the job if you say so. But 
what is it? Where is it defined? C-h f says it is defined in 
url-parse.el, but it hides somewhere there where I can't see it.

It's defined along with all other accessor (and setter) functions in the
`defstruct' form in url-parse.

I see, thanks. But this is definitively hard to find. Too hard for the 
help functions at the moment.

Wouldn't it be good if the help functions could find that definition? 
The only way I can see that can be done is that the macro defstruct is 
made a bit helpful. Or is there any other way?
