Support structmap?

https://clojure.org/reference/data_structures#StructMaps "you cannot dissociate a struct map from one of its base keys"

(m/rewrite (struct (create-struct :tag :content) :name "bob")
  {:tag :name & {:content ?name}} ?name)

Even if meander doesn't change to make this code work, I want to at least record it here. It took me a while to figure out what was causing the exception.

Interesting! Hmm... it seems like this should possible. Some brain storming should happen here. Off the top of my head I'm thinking "what if we had a wrapper for maps/structs/sets which held on to a set of keys that have been removed from the collection such that find/contains? returns nil/false?". I'm open to ideas here.

Yea, my first thought was to just make it a map before matching against it but then you'd have some unavoidable overhead for large structures. I do think it makes sense to support dissocing here so I'm in favor of your suggestion. I don't have a better idea than that.
