Thanks Sam, for the explanation.
I was thinking that some information was lacking to the type inference
system, and it helps to see the annotation incantations necessary to fill
in the gap.
Cheers,

The change makes a difference because Typed Racket's type inference
for `cons` is producing a less-accurate answer than it could. When it
sees arguments of type `String` and `(Listof Any)`, it decides that
the result is a `(Listof Any)` instead of a `(Pairof String (Listof
Any))`.
If you add (exce
If I understand correctly, the difference to getting the code to type
check was:
> (apply fprintf (cons anomaly (cons message messageargs)))
becomes:
>(apply fprintf anomaly message messageargs)
Since the documentation explains that the arguments to fprintf are
effectively gather
