... for example, why not set up files that set some parameter and then
run the program. You said that you want a `++load my-module.rkt' --
why not change "my-module.rkt" -> "my-module.scrbl", and just render
it?

Alternatively, propagating some user-defined command line flag to the
scribble code is the same solution as using an environment variable.
