Actually, not so. Here's adaptation of my recent example with access to an
individual fields of an item selected by arbitrary key. Reads almost
naturally, right?
Of course, I wasn't shown how make a full range iteration for such a data
structure, so will have to work that out by myself :).

  s = consistent_struct\.
  (.
  "Buffat+Borel 1976 (5)", {"Buffat+Borel 1976 (5)", 13, 1337},
  "Coombes 1972 (2)", {"Coombes 1972 (2)", 13, 1337},
  "Lai+Guo+Petrova+ 1996 (2a)", {"Lai+Guo+Petrova+ 1996 (2a)", 30, 505}
  );.
.
  getfield( s, "Coombes 1972 (2)" ){1}.
  getfield( s, "Coombes 1972 (2)" ){2}.
  getfield( s, "Coombes 1972 (2)" ){3}.
