[plt-scheme] Interacting w/ MzScheme

For me, the number one thing i don't like about the drscheme editor is
that there is no tab completion.  This slows me down by over a factor
of 2.  I find it faster to develop routines in guile/emacs, and cut &
paste them into drscheme, then to type them in directly.

Note this is not just about  typing effiency.  This is also about
library lookups.  so for example, if i want to convert a number to
something, i browse the list of what types of conversions are built in
by typing "number{tab} {tab}".  It's less critical if you already have
R5RS and all the libraries memorized.
