[racket] syntax, differently

This program, for example, would break:
 (->* (#:kwd1 integer?
       #:kwd2 integer?)
      any)

if you did that. I'm sure there are more of that ilk.

I can see how, in a relatively authoritarian way, you might tell
students "deal with it" and that might work (for some instructors).
For other people, this seems to clearly violate the principle of least
surprise.
