[racket] top-level-rename

Maybe something like this, to make sure it is only changed by a parameterize form?

(provide syntax-local-introduce
         call-with-syntax-introducer)

(define current-syntax-introducer (make-parameter #f))

(define (syntax-local-introduce stx)
  ((current-syntax-introducer) stx))

(define (call-with-syntax-introducer intro thunk)
  (parameterize ([current-syntax-introducer intro]) (thunk)))
