Using hashes for structs

HashStruct = Struct.new(*hash.keys, keyword_init: true)
hash_struct = HashStruct.new(hash)
hash_struct.field1 # => "foo"
hash_struct.field2 # => "bar"
hash_struct.field3 # => ERROR!
# using an array

ary_struct.field1 # => "foo"
ary_struct.field2 # => "bar"
ary_struct.field3 # => ERROR!
