By this, don't we then already have structured sequences (SS) in Euphoria?!?!

-- simple example
euclass Address( sequence s )
   atom street_number
   sequence street_name
   sequence city
   sequence state
   atom zip_number
   atom zip_plus4
end euclass

This seems to allow both structured sequences (at its simplest) and advanced
objects (at its most complex).

address myAddress -- create your new structured sequence
  myAddress.street_number = 1234
  myAddress.street_name = "Independence Pkwy"

It's just called a euclass instead of a sequence/record/etc.
