I defined a new-exn struct to represent exceptions and defined a raise macro
that wraps Racket's raise to throw a new-exn value. Also, I need to raise
the exception thrown by raise-blame-error inside a parameterize expression.
I want to access and modify a parameter that will be used to construct the
new-exn value.

Thanks
