[racket] generating 0 or more than 1 additions in the body of for/list, for/vector, for/hash

I turn it into a for/fold or figure how to put the cases I don't want
in the list as #:when for clauses. I think this is a lame solution. I
almost want a C-like "continue" function. Returning an option type
seems like overkill.
