Structures created with defstruct or create-struct do not store a
name. They only store the keys.
If you look at the source of defstruct:
user=> (source defstruct)
(defmacro defstruct
"Same as (def name (create-struct keys...))"
{:added "1.0"}
[name & keys]
`(def ~name (create-struct ~...@keys)))
you can see that the name is not even passed to create-struct. Only
the keys are. So the struct type cannot tell you its name.
