[racket] Ensuring data fed to web-server/templates is textual

web-server/templates uses scribble/text

So, if you return a function, then it will be called.

We could also change scribble/text to support a struct/class property
for JIT transformation. Does that sound good?

Is that okay with you, Eli?

It seems there must be a way someplace to tweak the output function used by the template library, but I don't know where that would be.
