In general, a typed module cannot provide syntax bindings to an
untyped module, because this could allow access to the values of the
typed module without the contract checking.  The static information
about struct types is such a syntax binding, and thus isn't provided
to the untyped module.

It might be possible to do something special for struct information,
but I'm not sure.
