Structural typing in Rust

Have you ever wanted to write a structurally typed function in Rust?

What this article is talking about isn’t structural typing, it’s nominal row typing. Rust already has a structural type, it’s the Tuple, but the examples and such they show is about a nominal row type. Very bad set of misnaming there… >.>
