[racket] instantiating multiple sandboxes with gui's
Yes, this is a limitation of `racket/gui/base`. On initialization, the
library must register in various non-composable ways with an underlying
GUI toolkit (callbacks, Objective-C classes, Win32 classes, etc.), and
so `racket/gui/base` cannot be instantiated multiple times.
