It's getting to be difficult to tell people what to do wrt choosing a
language. There are several things that contribute to this:
* I can't use "default language" to refer to the module language,
since it's not the default.
* I can't use "module language" to refer to it since it's not known by
that name -- and "module" is no longer something that newbies know
about.
* I can't even refer to some sane label in the language dialog, since
there is only a description instead of a name -- unlike other
languages.
* The term "language" itself is very confusing -- no easy way to
distinguish a language in the "#lang" sense and language in the
"entry in the language selection dialog" sense.
What about having some sub-options under "use language declared in
source" for some common things people use? drracket could just insert
the appropriate #lang line and use that language.
* Use language declared in source
* racket
* r5rs
* r6rs
* typed-scheme
* ...
