Unfortunately, I know of no other way to implement what ts.el does
without modifying the accessors, which requires accessing the internal
struct details after it is defined. Unless I've missed something, or
something has changed, of course. Regardless, the library's been
working well for the almost 3 years since I wrote it, and it's used in
various packages now, even including a few not my own. :)
Anyway, if I have to add an Emacs-version check, that's not a big
deal. I'll just have to answer the inevitable "I upgraded to Emacs 28
and your package doesn't work anymore" reports.
