I’m curious about this, too. At first I thought it was just a misfeature, not 
necessarily a bug, but now I’m not so sure. The namespaces are not actually 
separate, as the following interaction demonstrates:

    $ racket -ie '(define x 3)'
    Welcome to Racket v7.1.0.1.
    > x
    3

So then what gives? After further experimentation, my running theory is that 
any mutation of `current-namespace` inside of -e is reverted when the REPL 
starts up. You can see this by skipping `enter!` completely and just modifying 
`current-namespace` directly:

    $ racket -ie '(define ns (make-base-namespace)) (current-namespace ns)'
    Welcome to Racket v7.1.0.1.
    > (eq? ns (current-namespace))
    #f

I don’t know if this is intentional behavior or just a bug.
