Matthew Flatt 99feebf070 ephemeron-value: add optional "retain" argument
When an ephemeron is accessed through a weak mapping from the same key
that is used in the ephemeron, and when the key is not otherwise
reachable, there can be a race between extracting the value from the
ephemeron and performing a GC that reclaims the key. Avoid that race
by supplying the key back to `ephemeron-value`, which ensures that the
key remains reachable until the value is extracted.

In many cases, supplying the key as the second argument would also
work --- since that argument is used as a replacement value when the
key is inaccessible, but the key can't become inaccessible if it's
pending as a replacement value. A separarate optional argument to
`ephemeron-value` seems clearer and more general, though.

This is the source code for the core of Racket. See "INSTALL.txt" for full information on building Racket.

To build the full Racket distribution from this repository, run make in the top-level directory. To build minimal Racket, run make base.

The rest of the Racket distribution source code is in other repositories, mostly under the Racket GitHub organization.
