[racket] generics + superstructs

Hello,

In short: I use inheritance of structures, I use structure generics,
but I can not combine inheritance and generics in the way that seems
the most natural.


#lang racket

(require racket/generic)

(define-generics my
   (some-base-stuff my)
   (some-specific-stuff my))

(struct base
   (base-field)
   #:methods gen:my
   ((define (some-base-stuff my)
      (print (base-base-field my)))))

(struct specific base
   (specific-field)
   #:methods gen:my
   ((define (some-specific-stuff my)
      (print (specific-specific-field my)))))

(some-base-stuff (specific 2 4))

some-base-stuff: not implemented for #<specific>


Can generic #:methods be possibly inherited from superstructure?



Best regards,

Dmitry
