How about make Run and other very language-specific DrRacket operations 
require a "#lang" line?

When the operation is invoked and there isn't a "#lang" line, pop up an 
explanatory dialog box that lets user click on button for desired 
language.  Button inserts "#lang" at top of file before continuing with 
operation.

(I like this better than having a default "#lang" line, because you'll 
get people accepting the wrong default, different people with different 
defaults, etc.)
