[racket] Racket v5.3

I'm curious:  what use cases call for the new generics as opposed to the old class & interface system?  I'm trying to get a clearer picture of the motivation for the new functionality, and the differences between old-style class-based OO code and this struct-based kind.

Best,
jmj
