Because this is work in progress to support typed-based optimizations. Roughly speaking, with types TR can macro-generate code that exploits Racket's specialized primitives to an extent that eliminates a large amount of overhead -- for certain numeric programs. 

Problem is that it may require the programmer to work a bit harder to find the right entry point into the numeric hierarchy. I experienced this recently, too. 

So hang in there and enjoy TR for what it is, research in progress -- Matthias
