[racket] Are there any functional structs in Racket

Thank you all for your replies. I somehow missed `struct-copy', this
is exactly what I wanted. Bad thing I can't pass lambda to it like:

(struct-copy person
             myperson
             (age (lambda (age) (+ age 1))))


p.s.
About names `person/age' vs `person-with-age', maybe `person<-age'
it's like arrow says to us: take this new age and update person with
it.
