Ah, I see. Indeed, defstruct belongs to "cl-macs.el", an add on (as
Pascal pointed out elsewhere in this thread, the cl stands for "Common
Lisp", that's where this feature has been taken from).

Right. This might be confusing for you. As a matter of policy, it has
been decided that core Emacs packages don't rely on "cl.el". OTOH,
"cl-macs.el" is considered OK, because it's just needed at compile time.

But when writing your own programs, you are free, of course :-)
