[racket] What's the idomatic way to handle system call errors?

I suppose this is a non-answer, but it shouldn't be hard at all to write a
"with-error-as-exception" form. I generally believe it's idiomatic to
extend the language whenever something inconvenient, or whenever a
boilerplate "design pattern", comes up.
