Racket Reference, section 18.1.4, "Command Line" states that `-r <file>` or `--script <file>` is like `-t <file> -N <file> --`. As `racket --help` shows it (correctly), `-r`/`--script` is essentially `-f <file> -N <file> --`. Option `-f` _loads_ the file, while `-t` _requires_ the file.

Option `-u`/`--require-script` is the option that matches `-t <file> -N <file> --`
