[racket] protected (semi-private) fields

See the documentation for define-local-member-name:
http://docs.racket-lang.org/search/index.html?q=define-local-member-name

Rather than always limiting a "protected" member to a class and its
subclasses, we allow limiting them by lexical scope.  That way you can
decide precisely what classes can and can't use it based on where you
put the define-local-member-name.
