Hi Philip,

I don't have an answer to your problem, but I'm curious as to what do you store 
in "local.rkt" and "production.rkt" to justify such a complicated solution.

In the projects that I worked on (Racket or otherwise), local vs production 
differ in the values for different parameters, which are just key => value 
mappings.  In Racket, I would just store these as association lists in 
"local.rktd" and "production.rktd" than in the code just to a:

    (define config-file (if (prodution?) "production.rktd" "local.rktd"))
    (define config (call-with-input-file config-file read))

Than just use `assoc` to find the values for the parameters.

Best Regards,
Alex.
