[plt-scheme] Emacs modes and s-expression comments

DrScheme could, oh no, include the useful editor features I've come to
rely on like custom keybinds and split windows.  But it doesn't.  So
I'm sad either way.

Besides, DrScheme isn't a general editor.  If I want to edit my Scheme
program, the Java program I'm porting it from, the corresponding
doc.txt file, and the LaTeX document where I write up the results... I
can open 4 different programs, or one.  I choose one.  That's the real
answer.
