Matthew Flatt a447b5bf6b expander: improve some errors at phase >= 1
At phase 1 and higher, the expander tentatively allows an unbound
identifier so that, for example, `define-for-syntax` can define a
helper function syntactically after a compile-time expression that
uses the helper. While unbound references eventually trigger an error,
the reordering can be consuing, as in the example

  #lang racket

  (define-syntax (f stx)
    (syntax-parse stx
      [(_ oops) #'ok]))

which complains about `_` when the real problem is that `syntax-parse`
isn't imported.

To provide better errors, `raise-syntax-error` now implicitly extends
an error message to include a list of previously encountered unbound
identifiersin the current compilation unit. That list will be
non-empty only at phase >= 1. With that change, the error message for the
above example is

 bad.rkt:5:5: _: wildcard not allowed as an expression
  after encountering unbound identifier (which is possibly the real problem):
   syntax-parse
  in: (_ oops)
  ....

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.
