If you wish, you can install a package to run R7RS small program in Racket. Just run in the commend line raco pkg install r7rs or search r7rs in the package manager inside DrRacket. It's not maintained by the core developers, but it pass all the test suit and if you ever find a bug and post an issue in github or in the discourse group, it will be fixed very soon. https://pkgs.racket-lang.org/package/r7rs https://github.com/lexi-lambda/racket-r7rs more info: https://github.com/lassik/racket-r7rs-example

What exactly do you mean by this question? R7RS could totally be used to write a library that allows running any racket/base program. It's called an interpreter :D. The nice thing about Racket is the #lang system allows you to work with many different languages in the same project. Racket has an R5RS [1], R6RS [2], and R7RS-small [3] implementation as a #lang.
