RE: Provide form generator

  Thanks Matthias. I'm fairly new to Racket, and I thought the provide form was just a way to indicate which functions to expose. I'll look into it.

Neat. 

Keep in mind that the API of a module should be considered a specification (purpose, signature) that the module body (generated later) lives up to. No, this is not how we always work in practice because software evolves, but that is the principle.

My original idea was to parse the module syntax and simply delete the body of each define form, converting each function definition to string and use it as comment to each provide element. I couldn’t make it work that way, so I had to switch from syntax objects to strings half-way and handle it by hand. Any insight?
