[racket] scribble to stdout

I wonder whether I can use scribble as script a scripting
language, to generate html on the fly. Consider the
following minipage:

http://advocacia.me/rkt/pages.r

Here is the script that generated it:

#!/usr/bin/env racket/bin/racket
#lang racket

(display (~a "Content-type: text/html


<html>
<body>
<h1>Racket for CGI</h1>
<p>One often cannot use Racket to
   serve html pages. Inexpensive
   hosting services stick to
   Apache, and that is it.</p>

<h2>CGI</h2>
 Let us see how to use CGI from
 Racket, etc. etc.
<h2>ssh</h2>
 You need to get permission from
 your hosting service to use ssh.
 Then create a rkt folder, and
 give it chmod a+x rkt permission.

 Then create a .htaccess file, and
 inform Apache abour Racket extensions...

 <p>Addhandler .rkt .s .r</p>

 <p>And that is all.</p>
</body>
</html>
"))

If the author of this minipage could write
scripts in scribble, it would become something
like this:

#!/usr/bin/env racket/bin/scribble --script
#lang scribble/base


@title{Racket for CGI}
One often cannot use Racket to
   serve html pages. Inexpensive
   hosting services stick to
   Apache, and that is it.

@section{CGI}
 Let us see how to use CGI from
 Racket, etc. etc.

@section{ssh}
 You need to get permission from
 your hosting service to use ssh.
 Then create a rkt folder, and
 give it chmod a+x rkt permission.

bla, bla, bla...

I guess this feature is very easy to
implement, and would be appreciated.
