[racket] Accessing lambda arguments in a macro

I suppose that would work. Sam suggested on #racket that I include the name
of the argument in the macro definition:

(define-syntax-rule (foo bar form ...)
  ((lambda (bar) form ...) "ARG"))

Then you could say:

(foo bar
  ; Do stuff with bar here...
  )
