[racket] Typed racket -> huge executable size

Is it possible to make TR programs only bring in their run-time
dependencies though?

I tried an experiment by making a module like this:

  #lang racket/base
  (require (for-syntax racket/syntax))

Since the library `racket/syntax` is only used for compile-time, you
might expect that it won't be included via `raco exe` but it actually
is. (you can see by doing `raco exe --vv`)

So maybe Racket cannot currently separate compile-time out for building
executables at all?
