The unit value must import a subset of the import signatures and export a
superset of the export signatures listed in the unit contract. Any
identifier which is not listed for a given signature is left alone.
Variables used in a given @scheme[ctc] expression first refer to other
variables in the same signature, and then to the context of the
@scheme[unit/c] expression.
Here is an example use of @scheme[unit/c]:
