Ok. For future reference this is how its done:
#lang at-exp racket
@string-append{

bar

Yeah, and you can use a more convenient name, indent the text, and/or
the whole thing, and get the same result. For example:
#lang at-exp racket
(define str string-append)
(define text
@str{
foo
bar
})
(Before you complain: the shorter name is not to make it shorter, it's
because the `-append' thing is just a by-product of the available
function that can append strings, so it shouldn't be there.)
My issue is that first I try @{foo} and get the error "expected a procedure, given a string". At which point I remember kevin telling me off-hand how you (eli)
had a trick to deal with these situations, which was to put string-append between the @ and {.
Could @{ as a special case do string-append for me?
(I'll get to the readtable stuff in a different email)
