Can you say more about the problem here?  The type of `assoc` mentions
pairs, but you should be able to use it with lists, since they're made
of pairs.

Here's a version that type checks: https://gist.github.com/samth/5847063

The key is giving a type annotation to `fname` using the #{} syntax.
Typed Racket can figure out how to typecheck the expansion only if you
give it that hint.  And the #{} syntax is for adding such hints with
macros like `command-line` that didn't anticipate Typed Racket.
