Even the manual recommends records in lieu of struct-map.

And yes, that flaw is icky; one of the few in Hickey's otherwise excellent track-record in good taste.

Here: http://clojure.org/data_structures, see the entry for StructMaps. The page on datatypes* also implies heavily that structs have been phased out in favor of records, as no reason to use structs over records is presented.
