Easy... except I can't get even that to work. Even used at the top-level.

I tried because there's a StackOverflow question about this:

  http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18852921/generating-require-clauses-with-racket-macros

I've been trying to answer it, but having one of those humbling
experiences where I wonder how much I've really learned about macros,
after all.  I distilled it to just:

#lang racket
(define-syntax (define-modularize stx)
  (syntax-case stx ()
    ([_ thing-name mod-name]
     #'(begin
         (module mod-name racket
           (define thing-name #t)
           (provide thing-name))
         (require 'mod-name)))))

(define-modularize foo foo-mod)
;; (require 'foo-mod)
foo ;; => foo: unbound identifier in module

Only if the previous line with the require is uncommented, does it
work. IOW the module and thing define/provide seem just fine, it's the
require that is not working. Why?

I've thought about it, used the stepper in DrRacket, tried everything
I can think of -- but can't get it to work.
