Advice for dealing with `struct` during development

Along the same lines, it occurred to me that with named tuples and getproperty, one could have

@flexible struct Foo
    x::Int
    y::Float64
end

expand into

struct Foo{NT}
    _vals::NamedTuple
end
Foo(x, y) = Foo((x=x, y=y))
getproperty(f::Foo) = ...

Then with Revise.jl one could change the fields of Foo as much as you want without restarting and strip off the @flexible once it’s “frozen”. It would have a few restrictions, but at least it would work in functions

f(::Foo, ...) = ...
