[racket] Issue with splicing-syntax-parameterize in Typed Racket

Unfortunately those options wouldn't help because I ran across this issue
where an extension to Typed Racket I was working with was using
splicing-syntax-parameterize "under the hood" to provide some interesting
extensions. I would prefer it if those extensions didn't prohibit use of :
within them for type annotations.
