[plt-scheme] Does anyone use `set!' and `get!' patterns?

This is probably the original motivation for this feature.  For
example, with the generic setters in Swindle, you get

  (inc! (cadddr x))

to expand to

  (set-cadddr! x (+ (cadddr x) 1))

and my guess is that with the match setters, it would be like doing

  (let ([x (cdddr x)]) (set-car! x (+ (car x) 1)))
