I'm not sure of portability, from CLHS:

"The mechanism by which defstruct arranges for slot accessors to be usable with
setf is implementation-dependent; for example, it may use setf functions, setf
expanders, or some other implementation-dependent mechanism known to that
implementation's code for setf."
