[racket] Dynamically calling struct accessors/method names

Actually, on pondering it for a few more minutes,  your original solution is
sufficient for what I'm trying to do, which is to consolidate a lot of
similar code into one common parent function, but it would be interesting to
know how to call the function if I only had a string.

So, if for argument's sake, I had a file with a list of approved functions
and one of them were 'posn-x', how would I take "posn-x" the string and turn
into posn-x, the accessor call (or function call if it weren't a struct)?

I tried passing variations to eval, but I always wind up with something like
(eval '("posn-x")) or eval'('posn-x)), never the actual function, posn-x.
