[racket-dev] Installing Optimization Coach broke Racket's reader

I think Vincent needs to answer the core question. But when you
install a package it can extend any collection, so all collections
that it mentions are built. In the case of OC, it only mentions OC so
it would run "raco setup OC" which could cause other collections to be
built as well, during the raco bootstrap phase, such as if you had
done a "git pull" and didn't rebuild.
