Alright, so after thinking about how to improve Racket package management I 
decided that I want to add project scoping logic to raco pkg install. I'm not 
sure --scope-dir is enough because the docs say that the installation is 
apparently checked before the scoped directories, and there are no lock files. 
Correct me if I'm wrong.

I've previously made commitments re: a CI dashboard and a syntax highlighter. 
Those remain, but don't seem to need me right this minute. Meanwhile, this is 
one of those features that hurts to not have, especially with current 
limitations in the default package catalog.

[https://akkuscm.org](https://akkuscm.org/) says it supports plt-r6rs, so I see 
two paths: Either implement the diff between that and Racket today in Akku, or 
add just enough of Akku to a raco pkg install --scope project command. I expect 
both efforts would be painful, but the latter seems better.

Are there any landmines are in the raco pkg install code that I need to know 
about? I'd rather not make a bunch of changes with subtle consequences that I'm 
not seeing. I'd also like to know who would be the best person to review my 
proposed changes in this area.
