[racket] idiomatic and fast

With Microsoft, I can't always tell.  With this MS thing recognizing 
dubious achievements, and posting those honors on one's Facebook and 
such, it could be some fun/lame thing, or it could secretly be some 
brilliant social critique by an MS worker drone, passed off as just a 
fun/lame thing.  If critique, it could be on the folly of software 
metrics practice, on the vapidity of Facebook/Twitter/blogs, on the 
nature of Microsoft certifications...

I'd still be interested in projects on guiding what language features 
people use (when they're not guided by a textbook and DrRacket student 
languages).  Or perhaps we could look at this as another aspect of an 
automatic code-critiquing tool: not only does the tool do things like 
flag suspect code and suggest better idioms, but these suggestions are 
informed by a sense of the programmer's current level of expertise in 
various respects.
