** Xref migrated from EIEIO to cl-defstruct for its core objects.
This means that 'oref' and 'with-slots' no longer works on them, and
'make-instance' can no longer be used to create those instances (which
wasn't recommended anyway). Packages should restrict themselves to
using functions like 'xref-make', 'xref-make-match',
'xref-make-*-location', as well as accessor functions
'xref-item-summary' and 'xref-item-location'.
Among the benefits are better performance (noticeable when there are a
lot of matches) and improved flexibility: 'xref-match-item' instances
do not require that 'location' inherits from 'xref-location' anymore
(that class was removed), so packages can create new location types to
use with "match items" without adding EIEIO as a dependency.
