[racket] how to write a contract for indeterminate number of return values

That's not currently possible. I think it would make sense to have a
new contract combinator that supported something like that, but I'll
note that you're kind of fighting with the "smooth" optimization paths
in Racket when you do something like that (as compared to simply
returning a list).

Can you maybe give a little more context to help me understand what
you're doing?
