So the drawn
With rectangle and filled-rectangle, I can specify a border width:
(rectangle 100 100 #:border-width 5)
Does that border sit inside the 100 x 100 rectangle, or is it around the
rectangle making the result take 110 x 110 pixels. I can't see where this
is specified in the documentation.

There are a few things not clear to me about scribble.
Scribble programs start with a line
#lang scribble
This invokes a different language from the regular Racket, with its own
syntax and a suite of new standard functions.
Most of the input text seems to be translated to a list of strings,

The bulk of the code is there to handle attributes (like colours and

The one problem I have with s-expression syntax is deep indentation with
tail-nesting.
In one lisp-like language I solved this by letting

abbreviate
( blah bah blah ( foo foo foo ( bar bar bar )))
With indentation this gives

I'm sending this here, not because it's directly related to Racket,
nor because i think you all are experts in make or GNU make, but
because you are reasonable erudite in language appreciation.
I, like many others, have been using a Makefile as a recipe to make a
lot of files from other files.

Racket
The page
https://docs.racket-lang.org/molis-hai/index.html
specifies there are command line parameters, but does not say what they are.
In particular, I'm wondering how to specify:
the order
the number of bits of entropy
It does mention the -t flag to specify the source text.
It's not urgent

Given the amount of text you have quoted, it's not clear what you are
saying yes to.

Not available at all yet, but there's the Libre-RISC-V development,
