That's right. You could create a "~/.racketrc" that contains

I worry that this is problematic for backwards compatibility (esp. the
prefs files).  Anyone who uses PLT Scheme will install Racket, and all
of their configuration will go away.  That seems like a recipe for
unhappy users.

Perhaps `racket' should use .mzschemerc if only it is present (and not
.racketrc), and similarly for the preferences files.

I'm not sure about rc files, but I think Dr{Scheme,Racket} should detect the situation plt-prefs.ss but no racket-prefs and offer to migrate them.

And/or we should have a migration command, eg "raco migrate".
