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?
Sure!

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 henc

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.
