[racket] keyword args static checking and optimization
Feature request... I'd *really* like to see compile-time checking of
keyword arguments whenever that is possible.
If compiler knows what procedure will be called, and the procedure uses
keyword args in the usual way, then I'd like the compiler to report an
error when the call site, say, uses a keyword arg that the procedure
doesn't support. Likewise with required keyword args that are missing.
As a second feature request, would be nice if, when the compiler (or
JIT) can determine the procedure, if it could optimize the keyword args
the same as if they were positional args. I don't know how much the
compiler/JIT is doing already, but the static error-checking that it
misses make me suspect the compiler is not optimizing this.
The static checking is a much higher priority than the optimization, in
my book.
