I recommend that approach, because it's simple, reliable, and easy to
adjust when you're ready to switch to a new version. Note that you
don't have to perform any quoting in the content of the file in
"/etc/paths.d".

We've experimented with an installer package that creates
"/etc/paths.d/racket" as it installs Racket into "/Applications/Racket
vX". But since the installer's only benefit is creating "/etc/paths.d",
and since the installer takes away a user's ability to choose where
Racket is installed, we've never switched the main distribution to that
mode.

FWIW, Racket used to be called "PLT Scheme", with a space in its name
--- so there was no question back then whether the folder in
"Applications" should have a space in its name when following Mac
conventions. And we kept following the numbering style for "Racket"
folders, because it still looks right to have a space.
