If they will let this embedded native app exec another process, or talk
through a Unix domain socket to an existing process, or talk HTTP to a
localhost address... then you can avoid embedding Racket and just embed
a small bit of shim code that does RPC-like communication with a normal
Racket process.
Advantage of this over embedding Racket itself is that you don't have to
worry about strange interactions with the GC and whatever tricky stuff
Chrome will do. And you know that they will probably do tricky stuff.
