[racket] #<undefined> and backward compatibility

Hi Matthew
Yes, I have (define undefined (letrec ((x x)) x)) in some of my programs.
No, the backward incompatibility would not hurt me.
A few simple changes in my code would be sufficient,
I would not need the `racket/undefined` library.
I could replace (letrec ((x x)) x)) by
(let () (struct undefined ()) (undefined)).
Even better for not confusing intentional undefined with unintended
undefined.
AFAIAC: go ahead!
