That's a good idea, but ​I don't think there is much point. xdg-open is
meant mainly to open files. For Racket, we know we are trying to run a
browser. There are other methods to do this, e.g. sensible-browser and
x-www-browser.

It would be nice if xdg-open could cope (and I have filed a bug to this
effect), but not necessary.
