Here's a better example for slideshow/pict, a new version of
`print-sudoku'.  Racket sounds like a very interesting ambition
attempt to ``to fuse cutting-edge programming-language research with
everyday programming.''  I don't know how far along the project is,
but eventually you'll need good documentation, which means examples.

#lang slideshow

;; Digit = 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9
;; NL = number or list = Digit | (list of Digits)
;; Sudoku = (list of list of NL)

(define (digit->char i)
  (integer->char (+ 48 i)))

(define (Build-list n f) (build-list n (lambda (i) (f (add1 i)))))    

;; print-sudoku: Sudoku -> Pict
;; to build a picture of a sudoku as a 9x9 table, with all 9 boxes boxed, with a text picture for each big number, and a 3x3 table of text pictures for each empty cell list.
