`#lang' starts the reader for the specified language, which will read
a *whole* file and return a module expression.  When you use it on the
repl it will sit and do nothing because the reader is waiting to see
the end of the file.  For example, from a unix repl, you can enter:

  > #lang scheme
  1
  2
  3
  <<<hit ctrl+d>>>
  > 

After that you can (require 'page) to require that module.  (`page' is
the default name for #lang-read modules that don't come from a file.)
