+// Struct types are always "anonymous" until we give them a name:
+//
+//     struct {};
+//
+// So far, we've been giving struct types a name like so:
+//
+//     const Foo = struct {};
+//
+// * The value of @typeName(Foo) is "Foo".
+//
+// A struct is also given a name when you return it from a
+// function:
+//
+//     fn Bar() type {
+//         return struct {};
+//     }
+//
+//     const MyBar = Bar();  // store the struct type
+//     const bar = Bar() {}; // create instance of the struct
+//
+// * The value of @typeName(Bar()) is "Bar()".
+// * The value of @typeName(MyBar) is "Bar()".
+// * The value of @typeName(@TypeOf(bar)) is "Bar()".
+//
+// You can also have completely anonymous structs. The value
+// of @typeName(struct {}) is "struct:<position in source>".
+//
+const print = @import("std").debug.print;
+
+// This function creates a generic data structure by returning an
+// anonymous struct type (which will no longer be anonymous AFTER
+// it's returned from the function).
