// mers doesn't have structs, so instead we define a type:
type myStruct [
    int,
    string
]
to give names to the fields, we define functions:
fn count(s myStruct) s.0
// to allow users to change the value, add &myStruct to the valid types for s (only through references can values be changed)
fn note(s myStruct/&myStruct) s.1
