[racket] FW: q about code for partitions

Given that partitions2.rkt is written in TR, it shouldn't have to go
through a contract boundary to use `exact-zero?` (which is also written
in TR). The contract profiler does not observe any time spent in
contracts, which supports that hypothesis.

How did you discover that `exact-zero?` was wrapped? I'm wondering
whether we looked at different versions of the code (I ran the version
Jens attached to his email), or whether there's a bug in the contract
profiler.
