In the Info node below, 

    ,---- (info "(cl) Structures")
    |  You can also change these slots by using `setf' on any of these
    |  place forms, for example:
    | 
    |           (cl-incf (person-age birthday-boy))
    `----

the use of `cl-incf' as an example for `setf' is a bit....unhelpful
(considering the context).

I suggest that the "set accessor" be made prominent, by introducing it
NOT as a sentence but as a paragraph in it's own right.  The example
SHOULD illustrate `setf' and NOT `incf'.
