[racket] Uses of thunk*

Sorry, I was crazy. My local doc build was busted, so it didn't show up.

I've never used thunk* but I presume that it's designed for when you
want to have the procedure as an argument to something like map,
without trying to be arity-polymorphic yourself (which is very
cumbersome for keyword procedures.)
