Description
eval:alts currently only allows escaping within the "show" datum and not the "eval" datum, but it is useful to be able to programmatically construct the eval datum too and so I think it makes sense to allow escaping there.
#lang racket/base
(require scribble/example)
(examples (eval:alts #,(add1 1) 2)) ; allowed
(examples (eval:alts 2 #,(add1 1))) ; not allowed

Start by reproducing the two eval:alts examples from the issue, then locate the implementation of eval:alts in Scribble. Update the behavior so escaping is accepted in the eval datum as well as the show datum, and verify that both examples work.
