[racket] Unquoting a variable without unquoting its contents?

http://try-racket.org continues to splutter to life, but there's still
something of a glaring error in that it doesn't really like list or quote
at all.

AlexKnauth has narrowed the problem down here:

It seems that unquoting a variable does funny things to the variable's
contents when they contain a bare quoted list or symbol, so we get weird
results and errors. Quotes get lost, and then the eval finds itself looking
at mangled forms.

The best I can think of to do is maybe make a simple macro rather than
using quasiquote? Any ideas?
