How to provide all functions associated with a struct in Racket

Question

Is there a way to provide all of the functions associated with a struct without explicitly enumerating them?

For example, if I have foo.rkt:

#lang racket
(provide foo-struct) ; provide all functions, not just the constructor
(struct foo-struct (biz bop))

And then bar.rkt:

#lang racket
(require "foo.rkt")
(define foo (foo-struct 1 2)) ; works just fine
(foo-struct-biz foo) ; is undefined

Is there a way to provide foo-struct-biz and foo-struct-bop (and any other methods associated with the struct) without explicitly listing them?

Thanks to @PetSerAl in the comments, the way to do this is

(provide (struct-out foo-struct))

which will provide all of the methods associated with foo-struct.
