Digging further (thanks to the doc string for `register-alist', and with prior
knowledge of defstruct), I figured out that this is a type predicate constructed
automatically for a register defstruct.

The doc needs to be improved for this kind of thing (automatically generated
functions).  If you are going to add and use things like `defstruct', then
please do it right.  Emacs dev should not just be creating functions that have
no doc willy nilly.
