Racket's default structure constructors are functions with positional
arguments. Racket does support functions with optional keyword arguments,
http://docs.racket-lang.org/guide/lambda.html#(part._lambda-keywords)
so it should be technically possble to do what Common Lisp does here.
Other responses to this thread show some macros to autogenerate a helper
function that uses keyword arguments.
