Any comments on this? These Emacs screenshots show the tentative
"one-source-file package" format that I'd like to use for almost all of
my packages. I'd release a tool so that others can maintain their own
packages in this format, if they want to.

The author of the package works only from this one source file. A
simple packaging-time tool would always regenerate the "sample.scrbl"
and "info.rkt" files from this source file (the source file would
actually be named "main.rkt", in a directory named "sample").
I put the metadata in an `info` submodule, and the embedded docs are
pure Scribble on lines prefixed by 3 semicolons. This is similar to my
original Scheme Funcelit format from eons ago (which is why Quack
already colors it somewhat), but made modern Racket idiomatic. Which
means cryptic-looking `info` submodule bulk in the file, but that's a
tradeoff for the win of consolidating an entire package source as one
file. There is no post-package-release-time dependency on something
like "mcfly".
