[racket] Scribble question

First solution works well in my case as I have around 25 data 
structures all of which have map and fold functions.
Thanks for the help.

The simplest solution is to create a new module:

 ;; other.rkt:
 #lang at-exp racket/base
 (require scribble/manual
          (for-label racket/base))

 (define racket-map @racket[map])
 (provide racket-map)

And use it like this:

 #lang scribble/manual
 @(require (for-label lang/htdp-intermediate)
           "other.rkt")

 The ISL @racket[map] is similar to Racket's @|racket-map|.

If you want everything in one module, you can play a trick with
macro-introduced imports:

 #lang scribble/manual
 @(require (for-label lang/htdp-intermediate))

 @(begin
   (define-syntax-rule (def racket-map)
     (begin
       (require (for-label racket/base))
       (define racket-map @racket[map])))
   (def racket-map))

 The ISL @racket[map] is similar to Racket's @|racket-map|.

There should be a better way to do this --- maybe a macro that packages
up the macro-introduced-import trick.
