When writing macros with `syntax-rules', you won't need it.

Racket also supports procedural macros, which give you access to
the full Racket language when writing your macros. Essentially,
procedural macros are functions that take syntax as arguments and
produce syntax as results. These syntax objects can be created by the
`syntax' form.

For more information, Eli wrote a great article about procedural
macros on the Racket blog:
