[racket] errortrace breaks local-require on submodules

Okay, new information. I’ve looked into this more, and I’m pretty sure it has nothing at all to do with errortrace. I don’t know why running it from the command line without errortrace works, but as far as I can tell it shouldn’t.

The real problem is that require-local uses syntax-local-lift-require <http://docs.racket-lang.org/reference/stxtrans.html?q=syntax-local-lift-require#(def._((quote._~23~25kernel)._syntax-local-lift-require))>, which pulls the resulting #%require expression into the top of the enclosing module. This means it ends up being before any submodule definitions, so it explodes.

This seems a little like an issue with submodules and syntax-local-lift-require more than anything else. Should submodules be lifted to the top of the module? Either way, this is a frustrating problem, and I can’t see any simple fix.

There, someone suggested that it would work fine with (submod "." foo) instead of simply using 'foo. This works!
