Hi Sage,

This is pretty cool. With a non-OOP option on the table, I might
finally get around to working on an IMGUI-like for Racket.

Have you thought about a reader extension to compress the notation?
The `stateful-cell` function kinda acts like a box and kinda looks
like a `syntax` (or `quote-syntax` w/ kw arg) form, both of which have
special #-prefixed notations. Extending the reader to abbreviate
`(stateful-cell 1)` and  `(stateful-cell (λ _ (+ (x) (y))))` to, say,
#?1 and #?(+ (x) (y)), respectively, could be a fun project.
