Works, thanks.

One (very small) downside of the code generated now is that it may
trigger "Lexical argument shadows the dynamic variable" warnings.
'date' for example is bad as a slot name when "diary" is loaded.

I think these warnings can safely be ignored but I don't know if there
is a way to get rid of them (and there may be a lot since the
`defstruct' call is not the only place where a warning is emitted: also
some defined functions lead to those warnings).

Michael.
