[racket] Everything type-checks; on to benchmarking and optimization

That is odd. Do share the code so others can inspect it. 

(The trick with this assignment is to make the two matrixes large enough so that they fit, barely fit, don't fit in certain levels of the memory hierarchy. This is perhaps 10-year old thinking but I am sure it hasn't gotten much better.)

So I decided to try porting everything to TR, to see whether that saved any significant (presumably constant-factor) time.  Once I'd gotten everything to type-check in TR, I revised the untyped version to resemble the typed version as closely as possible.
