Description
See https://github.com/mbutterick/pollen/issues/268 — opening a Pollen source in DrRacket apparently causes the project-local root function to be called with no arguments. I know things can get blurry when dealing with DSLs but generally I would expect that DrRacket not run any of my projects’ code until I click the “Run” button.
This behavior in DrRacket is apparently new since 8.3.0.7 (I am using the Apr 5 snapshot of 8.4.0.8).

Research direction
Reproduce the report by opening a Pollen source in DrRacket and compare behavior between 8.3.0.7 and the reported 8.4.0.8 snapshot. Trace why opening the source invokes the project-local root function; done means project code is not run until the Run button is clicked, with the no-argument call no longer occurring.
