Description

This may make TR module loading slightly faster, but might increase zo size.

Basic idea is change (define-syntax local-untyped-id (#,mk-redirect-id (quote-syntax untyped-id))) to (define-syntax local-untyped-id (#,mk-redirect-id (lambda () (quote-syntax untyped-id)))) and adjust "redirect-contract.rkt"

Suggested by @mflatt.

Research direction

Compare the current quoted identifier path with the proposed thunked form, then verify whether the change improves Typed Racket module-loading time without an unacceptable increase in generated size.
