[racket] About set-car! and set-cdr!

Hello,

My understanding is that Racket intentionally does not provide set-car! and
set-cdr! and that this is one of the ways in which Racket is not fully
compatible with Scheme.

Am I right to think that it is trivially easy to add these features to
Racket? Specifically, I'm thinking of:


(define-syntax set-car!
  (syntax-rules ()
    ((_ l new_car) (set! l (cons new_car (cdr l))))))

(define-syntax set-cdr!
  (syntax-rules ()
    ((_ l new_cdr) (set! l (cons (car l) new_cdr)))))


Or did I miss something?

Cheers,
Daniel.
