[racket] writing a define-world macro

Huh?

Are you talking about the set-posn-x! and set-posn-y! mutators or
something else?

I just want something of the form:

;; posn-update-x: posn number -> posn
;; posn-update-y: posn number -> posn

Completely non-mutational--just recreates the exact same structure,
except for the updated value.

Which lvalues am I missing?
