[plt-scheme] How to make unit functors?

OK, there is a server, where people can leave private information.
The person who leaves the information uses some symbol as a key
for putting it into data structure.  Then, only people knowing
a key can get it.

The key is not stored in the datastructure, so someone reading the
datastructure information (by legal or illegal browsing of it) would not 
know to what key it belongs.

A little bit artificial, but useful.
