I think that `namespace-variable-binding' is likely the problem, in
that it exposes too much information.

In contrast, if you use `dynamic-require' like

  (dynamic-require 'racket/base 'apply)

then you don't have to know whether `apply' is bound as a variable or
as syntax. The `dynamic-require' function correctly hides the
difference.
