A PR to improve `struct->vector` for CS would be welcome. There
relevant code is here:

https://github.com/racket/racket/blob/master/racket/src/cs/rumble/struct.ss#L1221

As you'll see, the synthesized name is currently whatever comes out of
Chez Scheme's `inspect/object` interface. It could instead involve a
case dispatch on fixnums, bignums, etc., to improve on the `simple`
label that `inspect/object` produces. There may also be Chez Scheme
versus Racket terminology to bridge, such as `byte-string` instead of
`bytevector`.
