[racket] Pattern patching and structures

Hello,

Thank you for the quick reply. I am aware of the code replacement you 
mentioned.

However, what I really wanted was to preserve the name of the local 
variable (e.g., brick) and find some other way to refer to the 
structure (e.g., struct:brick).

I prefer this naming convention because I refer to local variables much 
more often than I refer to structures. Therefore, I think the code is 
more readable if it is possible to preserve the names of local 
variables that are instances of structures, and every now and then 
refer to the structure with an alternate name to escape name shadowing.

I was playing with omit-define-syntaxes and constructor-name.
However, I didn't find a combination of structure parameters that would 
help me do exactly what I have described.

Is there a way to do it?

Regards,
José
