[racket] plai test/exn

Also IIRC test/exn only works on errors raised using 'error' from
PLAI, which is different from 'error' from racket/base.

So by user-written code, I'm assuming they mean code contained in the same module. Or am I missing something fundamental about Racket's idea of "user-written code"?
