[racket] Submodules vs hygiene

Yes, that's awkward. The problem is that the `quote` wrapper in
`(require (quote m))` is macro-introduced, and the whole `(quote m)`
form's context is used for the imported identifier.

In contrast, the variant

 #lang racket

 (define-syntax foo
   (syntax-rules ()
     ((_ mod quoted-mod name)
      (begin
        (module mod racket/base
          (define name 1)
          (provide name))
        (require quoted-mod)
        name))))

 (foo m 'm x)

works the way that you'd expect, because the whole

  'm

is supplied to the macro for using in `require`.
