[racket] Fwd: interaction between (require racket) and check-expect

They might even be able to see this with check syntax, as the require
for redex will point to define-struct (I believe).

FWIW, the plan is to have modules declare that they work with the
teaching languages (or a subset of them) and then racket wouldn't make
that declaration and then this would be a syntax error.

But we haven't gotten to that yet.
