However, ‘struct-field-info-list’ returns only fields defined by the actual type and does not include fields that were inherited. What I don’t see is any simple way to get at the struct’s inheritance hierarchy —- it seems that you have to iterate ‘struct-type-info’ to enumerate the supertypes.Yes, that’s a (the?) way to extract field names of supertypes. The reason I designed it in that way is that field name is a concept for each level in the hierarchy, not across levels. You can’t have two identical field names in a level, but you can have identical field names across levels. So lumping field names across levels together doesn’t look like a good idea to me.
Yes, but fields defined in an ancestor are visible in its descendants. I understand the need to distinguish the individual types, but 'struct-type-info' does that already. IMO there should be an easy way to get information on *all* the fields at once - potentially including which supertype(s) defined them.
