[racket] Expanding a macro inside a cond

I might be wrong, but I don’t think you can do that with the existing cond.  

What you can do though is make your own version of cond that does that.  I actually did something like that here for a for/cond-clause form:
https://github.com/AlexKnauth/my-cond

If you wanted you could define a version of cond that had something like a “cond expander”, and then define $: as one.
Or I could add cond expanders to https://github.com/AlexKnauth/my-cond.
