I think there’s no reason these packages need to be in this repo. (We already have |
From the implementation side, bare From the feature side, this follows Python’s established f-string model and its newer t-string/template-string direction (PEP 498, PEP 750), and explores whether first-tier Racket support can improve everyday REPL ergonomics and structured-string workflows. |

It's true that it needs reader-level integration, but Racket's reader is extensible and #lang notation with meta-languages like |
