[racket] Racket/class, inherit-field all

 I didn't mean first-class. I did mean "only runtime".

In python it is hard to check (no macroses...). But in Common Lisp, top-level defclass is accessible during macro-expansion. 

In Scala and Nemerel AFAIK classes also are accessible (with introspection) from macros body.
