[racket] Creating my own series of teaching languages

After re-reading that section more closely, I realize that I understand
what it's saying; the part that I'm unsure about is how to actually go
about implementing the drracket:language:language<%> interface. It would be
nice if a small example was shown (like the examples shown when
implementing a reader language). I am also unsure of where this
implementation should go in my language directory: should it be in its own
file? in the same file as the language module? The documentation suggests
that I might be interested in the predefined simple implementation of the
interface, drracket:language:simple-module-based-language%, and I think
that is what I am looking for, but again there is the question of where I
should be using this in my language implementation.
