Side comment, which will probably sound odd: I'm not sure if you mean 
"life-threatening" literally in this case, and I'm not criticizing that 
use, but I think probably best if people don't adopt this term and start 
using it loosely on the Racket email lists.

I believe that some people on Racket lists also work on life-critical or 
safety-critical systems, and are all kinds of serious about it.  Please 
to be gentle with delicate sensibilities of engineers.
