[racket] Everything type-checks; on to benchmarking and optimization

This code is probably the problem:

    (require/typed racket/unsafe/ops
                   [(unsafe-fx+ index+) [Index Index -> Index]]
                   [unsafe-fx+    [Fixnum Fixnum -> Fixnum]]
                   [unsafe-fx- (Fixnum Fixnum -> Fixnum)]
                   [unsafe-fl+ (Flonum Flonum -> Flonum)]
                   [unsafe-fl- (Flonum Flonum -> Flonum)]
                   [unsafe-fl* (Flonum Flonum -> Flonum)]
                   )

TR already provides types for these functions, so you can use:

    (require racket/unsafe/ops)

`require/typed' adds contracts to its imports (for safe typed-untyped
interop), which add a significant cost (85% of the running time,
according to the contract profiler).

Removing the `require/typed' (except for `index+') brings the running
time (of the portion you were profiling) down from 22s to 15s. Replacing
the `index+'s with generic `+' and `assert's (to enforce `Index'
results) brings the running time down to 2.5s.
