[plt-scheme] Structures added to MzLib

This depends where the open is.  If the definition context where the 
open appears allows duplicate bindings (the top-level or a structure 
for example) then there is no problem.  If the definition context does 
not (an internal-define position), then there will be an error, but it 
will come from the enclosing construct, not the open.  ML has no 
definitions contexts that prevent duplicate bindings, except for rec, 
which only allows function definitions, syntactically.
