A view presenting an underlying structure backend as a Structure.

This view is a genuine Structure, so it can be passed anywhere a Structure is accepted. Its quartet is built eagerly from the backend on construction.

unwrap() Any[source]

Return the most raw representation possible of this view, i.e., if it uses a backend with an internal representaion - or if it can (possibly lossly) convert itself into a more raw representation that still would be recognized as a <Something>Like type, that representation will be returned. If this is not possible, the instance itself is returned.
