I think you're again making a wrong assumption here.  nix-system->chez-
scheme has purposes outside of solving supported-system.

I think this should rather be explicit in %chez-features-table.  You
can prefix features that only work inside racket with 'racket-.  Then,
this can be solved with memq just as with chez-scheme's supported-
systems in 7/9.


Cheers
