[racket] passing a list of dispatch clauses to dispatch-rules

The first one is what I would write, except that I'd put it after the
["" ...] case so it doesn't shadow it.

How are you testing this code? (next-dispatcher) is supposed to throw
an exception, but it will caught and used by the Web server when you
are using serve/servlet, etc.
