[racket] match in Advanced Student?

Apparently you can make it work with posns by requiring lang/posn and then
using the pattern:

 (struct posn-id (x y))

You could probably make your own teachpack that reprovided both match and
renamed posn-id back to posn, unless you are using Signatures.

there's no point in doing it before BSL+, where it does work, except not
with posns. Which I don't think I'll use with my students in the fall, but I
can't guarantee that none of them will fall into that relatively minor pit.
(If it were up to me, I would take the built-in definition of posns out. I
don't think being able to use `make-posn' for a few minutes before
introducing `define-struct' is worth the hassle.) --PR
