[racket-dev] File is really large ( 5 MB), really open?
I accidentally opened a sound file in DrRacket today; cue six minutes of thrashing and computer unhappiness. Would it be okay if I added a second-check dialog to DrRacket that checked the size of a file before opening it, and asked for confirmation before opening files larger than, say, 5MB?

[racket-dev] u8vector-cpointer documented but unimplemented
The function u8vector-cpointer is documented, but doesn't exist; this is presumably because the u8vector functions are actually byte-string functions, but it's not clear to me whether the absence of u8vector-cpointer is an oversight or whether it would violate abstractions in bad ways and hence simply shouldn't exist.

I think it's just an oversight, and I'll fix it. _ For list-related administrative tasks: http://lists.racket-lang.org/listinfo/dev

I would humbly suggest that this dialog should, in order of ease-to-implement a) display the size of the file, b) let the user know why they might not wish to proceed, and c) give some indication of how much memory they should probably have in order to expect reasonable performance.
