Since nobody has answered: As far as I know, "structs" were an internal 
experiment at Ericsson, one of the earliest attempts at 
something-to-replace-records, and they were never shown in public. (I've 
never seen a working implementation, only discussed it with the OTP 
guys, probably more than 10 years ago.)
