Whoa, whoa there. They're there for a reason. I can't remember why, but I am pretty certain I have actually used such a function.

Re: [racket-dev] slash-form + bug in PLaneT keybindings require?
I would say to put it in the framework. Probably scheme.rkt.

Where would I put it? It looks like this could be done as a tool, but it seems
silly to have a new collection just for this.

[racket-dev] slash-form + bug in PLaneT keybindings require?
I tried to make some keybindings available using PLaneT today, and ran into two
problems--I suspect that this mechanism is not frequently used.
1) I can't use the slash-form in this require. That is, I have to type
(planet "magic-paren.rkt" ("clements" "magic-paren.plt" 1 0))
instead of
(planet clements/magic-paren/magic-paren)
.
In fact, I'd be even happier just typing
clements/magic-paren/magic-paren
2) After typing the above, DrRacket installed the one-file planet package (and
GOLLY, it took a while, but that's a different issue), and finally got this
error:
Error when installing the keybindings (planet "magic-paren.rkt" ("clements"
"magic-paren.plt" 1 0)):
symbol->string: expects argument of type ; given
#
3) I suppose I'd be happiest of all if I could simply have an
electric-parenthesis option built in to DrRacket. Does this seem like an
appropriate preference entry for the "factory" DrRacket?
