I threw together these Racket utilities just to learn about Racket macros. Plenty of other utility libraries exist, and you should probably look for those instead if you're interested. :-p
These utilities aren't extensible (kind of a must for me, nowadays). Furthermore, they're not built to have especially nice error messages. ^_^;
What they are is slightly more convenient, of course. A lot of them are inspired by Arc or my Penknife draft, but they're not comprehensive takes on Arc or Penknife by any means. Mostly, they save parentheses.

(begin 1 2 3)

(du 1 2 3) ; "do" was taken (yeah, silly example)

(cond [(plan-a) 4]
[(plan-b) 5]
[else 6])
; after
(ifs (plan-a) 4

(let* ([a 1] [b 2])
