Test if a symbol is a defstruct name in Common Lisp

Question

Is there a simpler way of testing if a symbol is the name of a struct than this: ``` (fboundp 'make-symbol) ```

Accepted Answer

```
(defun symbol-names-structure-p (symbol)
  (let ((class (find-class symbol nil)))
    (and class (typep class 'structure-class))))

CL-USER 11 > (defstruct foo bar)
FOO

CL-USER 12 > (symbol-names-structure-p 'bar)
NIL

CL-USER 13 > (symbol-names-structure-p 'foo)
T
```

also:

```
CL-USER 14 > (ignore-errors (subtypep 'foo 'structure-object))
T
T

CL-USER 15 > (ignore-errors (subtypep 'bar 'structure-object))
NIL
