Racket would be broken if the patch were cut in two there: it was using 
`assoc-ref` to extract them from the inputs of Chez, in part to work around 
the cyclic dependency issues, but that didn't work with the removal of input 
labels.

In the commit that moved them to chez-and-racket-bootstrap.scm, I deliberately 
just cut and paste the definitions without changing anything, so I definitely 
wouldn't do this in that patch. Also, there was no reason to make them public 
until converting Chez to the new package style broke the existing workaround.

Thanks—feel free to fix it when applying, unless a v3 ends up being needed.
