There's a lot of packages with _format_ or _fmt_ in their names, aren't there? (My contribution is [`slib-format`](https://docs.racket-lang.org/slib-format/index.html))

I like how yours compiles format strings into a reusable function. Is it available to install via `raco pkg`?

I suppose so. I install packages with the package manager in the file menu of DrRacket,  
the details of which show how to do it with raco. As far as I know, my package has no dependencies on other packages than available in the standard distribution of Racket.
