[racket] Language Toolkit Questions

Also in the Guide they are mentioned:

http://docs.racket-lang.org/guide/define-struct.html?q=prop%3Aprocedure#%28part._struct-options%29

You may find that a more useful place to start, depending on how
familiar you are with Racket, since the information nearby tends to
explain the more useful things in more detail (the link below is to
the reference, which is all about putting all of the information
instead of focusing on the more useful bits).
