[racket] lazy racket

Thanks Stephen,

Eli finally responded pointing out to his pl plugin at http://pl.barzilay.org/pl.plt
His lazy.rkt does some "bad hack" (I cite ;)) to ensure all results are forced in the repl. That's what I needed, so for now, I'll just use his `#lang pl lazy' instead of `#lang lazy'.

Hopefully at some point the official `#lang lazy' will accept a configuration stating the desired "forcing mode".
