Sorry, pilot error, indeed.

BTW, I see further compatibility problems:

if you compile a chunk of code which constructs structs, they get
macroexpanded/inlined to code that does either

    (record 'FOO <args>)
or
    (vector 'cl-struct-FOO <args>)

depending on whether the corresponding cl-defstruct is using the old or
the new style.

So if this is in a different file from the one that does the
`cl-defstruct` you can end up with a situation where the
`cl-define-struct` defines a new-style struct (because it was recently
recompiled), while some code constructs old style structs of that
same type (because it hasn't been recompiled recently).
