To me "struct-like data" still seems a bit jargony without it being defined.
I think that would be my preference if you're able to rephrase it. At least the reference (which is linked) contains that exact phrase so it should be clear what's meant. |

…uct-like enum variants This closer follows the terminology used in the Rust Book and Reference. [Rust Book](https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/book/ch06-01-defining-an-enum.html#listing-6-2): > named fields, like a struct [Reference](https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/reference/items/enumerations.html#r-items.enum.constructor): > struct-like enum variant

Rollup merge of #152530 - orzechow:struct_like_enum_variants_docs, r=ChrisDenton Use the term struct-like variant instead of anonymous structs for data of struct-like enum variants The current term in the docs `anonymous structs` seems to be outdated. I'd suggest `struct-like data` or rephrasing the whole sentence to use `struct-like variant`. The terminology used in the [Rust Book on enums](https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/book/ch06-01-defining-an-enum.html#listing-6-2) is > named fields, like a struct The [Reference on enums](https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/reference/items/enumerations.html#r-items.enum.constructor) uses > struct-like enum variant The term `anonymous struct` on the other hand is neither mentioned in the Rust book on [structs](https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/book/ch05-01-defining-structs.html) or [enums](https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/book/ch06-01-defining-an-enum.html#listing-6-2), nor the references on [structs](https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/reference/items/structs.html) or [enums](https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/reference/items/enumerations.html#r-items.enum.constructor).
