[racket] regexp-match* that returns clusters?

I wrote the following function

(define/contract (regexp-match-all re str)
  (regexp? string? . -> . (listof (listof (or/c string? #f))))
  (map (λ (s) (regexp-match re s))
       (regexp-match* re str)))

I don't know if it would be worth including among the standard regexp operators.
