[racket] Dynamic Templates?

I have nothing against Scribble. For me it is practical -- I have tons
of mustache templates created for another web server, so I want to
(mostly) just drop in a Racket web app to take over.  Also, I need to
support client side templates. Mustache (or as I like to remind myself
c-templates) so something of a lingua franca. At least in my problem
domain, c-template/mustache is a good match for data drawn from json
document stores like couchdb.
