The probably you're seeing with the define-values/invoke-unit line has to
do with the fact that I've let the drracket:tool^ signature and the exports
of drracket/tool-lib get way out of sync. I've brought them mostly back in
sync with a recent push but there seems to be a small problem with units
that stands in the way of that line actually working. But at least some
progress happened here....
