IMO, the high level problem is where to put these things.

But thinking about it more, these sets seem completely equivalent to
adding some "racket/bindings-sets/require-provide.rkt" file with

  #lang racket/base
  (provide require provide blah-in blah-out ...)

which can now be used just the same, and more files could encapsulate
other sets.

(It still suffers from the above problem though, so I don't think it
should actually be done.  Maybe if there was a way to automatically
test that these files are in sync with the sets they're supposed to
provide.)
