[racket] StringBuilder for Racket?

I would use something like

 (car (regexp-match #rx#"^[^\0]*" in))

to read a null-terminated byte string from `in'. You'd need a slightly
different regexp depending on whether you want to consume the nul
terminator and allow EOF as a terminator. Change the `#rx#' to `#rx' if
you want to constrain the input to UTF-8-encoded characters, then use
`bytes->string/utf-8' to get from bytes to a string.

To accumulate characters more generally, a string output port is
probably a good choice. Use `open-output-string' to create the port,
`write-string' to add characters to the end, and `get-output-string' to
retrieve the accumulated string.
