[racket] Temporary Definitions with Ellipses

If you wish to work with The Schemer's Guide, use Intermediate Plus Lambda and remember to say 

 (define (afunction x)
   (local ((define y (* x x))
           (define z (+ y 10)))
     (expt y z)))

instead of 

 (define (afunction x)
   (define y (* x x))
   (define z (+ y 10))
   (expt y z)))

I was using #lang racket but also "The Schemer's Guide" in which I had gotten to the part about top-down design and I remembered reading something about temporary definitions and gave it a try. Don't know what the limitations are regarding Beginning Student language but I will try it out.
