From ox.el (Org Trunk)
(defstruct (org-export-backend (:constructor org-export-create-backend)
)
name parent transcoders options filters blocks menu)
The constructor is defined so that one gets the canonical prefix,
instead of the default. Likewise for copier.
I am wondering whether elisp /can/ generate NAME-VERB by default rather
than the usual VERB-NAME.
I know nothing about Common Lisp. So just throwing something in the
wild...

Technically, there's no difficulty, of course.
But we're talking about cl-defstruct, which is meant to simulate
CommonLisp's behavior, which is why it uses the CL naming convention.
