Random thought question, other then "just work", is there any disadvantage
in how custom keybindings work in DrR in extracting all keybindings out
from DrR code into a dedicated default keybindings.rkt?  Then a user
installed keybindings.rkt inherits and overrides from the default or just
modifies the default directly?

FWIW, a super feature that I use in emacs when typing in code is "dynamic
expansion".  One types the first few prefix chars of a token and 'alt-/'
and it completes the word by back searching for the first matching token in
the source file. 'alt-/' again, and it searchs back for the next match.
Its mindless string pattern matching in the source file.  No expansion  or
AST semantic parsing is necessary or done.  Mindless yet very effective in
key stroke/typo reduction.  I probably miss this more in DrRacket than any
other emacs basic editing feature.

>From emacs help.

M-/ runs the command dabbrev-expand, which is an interactive
autoloaded compiled Lisp function in `dabbrev.el'.

It is bound to M-/.

(dabbrev-expand ARG)

Expand previous word "dynamically".

Expands to the most recent, preceding word for which this is a prefix.
If no suitable preceding word is found, words following point are
considered.  If still no suitable word is found, then look in the
buffers accepted by the function pointed out by variable
`dabbrev-friend-buffer-function'.

A positive prefix argument, N, says to take the Nth backward *distinct*
possibility.  A negative argument says search forward.

If the cursor has not moved from the end of the previous expansion and
no argument is given, replace the previously-made expansion
with the next possible expansion not yet tried.

The variable `dabbrev-backward-only' may be used to limit the
direction of search to backward if set non-nil.

See also `dabbrev-abbrev-char-regexp' and C-M-/.
