Thanks!

I'm curious about two things:  first, might it be reasonable to extend
the struct-type to contain the predicate and constructor, as it
currently does for the accesssor etc?  Second, did the code I wrote,
which calls, either scheme_make_struct_instance or
scheme_make_struct_values, properly respect inspectors?  Can you get
around inspectors w/ the ffi?

Thanks again,
