You don’t need the `defmodule __MODULE__ do` part:

```elixir
defmodule Structor do
  defmacro __using__ (_) do
    quote do
      defstruct [:field]

      def create(field) do
        % __MODULE__ {field: field}
      end
    end
  end
end

defmodule MyStruct do
  use Structor
end

iex> MyStruct.create(:foo)
%MyStruct{field: :foo)

```
