That would be great! It would make for such a smoother experience
switching between DrRacket and Emacs. (DrRacket is awesome for Racket.
Emacs is awesome for multi-language projects.)

I remember staring at the Emacs Scheme mode menu the first time and
thinking, "Huh?? Where's the 'Run' command?'" It took me awhile to
figure out some rough equivalent. Even today I find myself wanting a
closer equivalent.

At some point soon I probably ought to pop the stack (resume working
on my main project instead of on my tool chain). I'll set a timer and
see how much progress I can make on this myself before I'd need to set
it aside.
