Good point.

We're looking through `mzlib''s bindings to find such functions that
don't have equivalents elsewhere in the collects. We're planning to move
these to appropriate libraries. For example, `gethostname' and `getpid'
should probably go somewhere like `racket/os' (and probably be renamed
to `get-hostname' and `get-pid').
