[racket] I'd use an object for this in PHP, how do I handle it in racket?

You could put all the context information in a struct and pass that 
around instead. But sometimes objects are just neater. Here's some code 
I wrote for the oauth2 protocol:

I like the objects version more than the first version I wrote.
