[plt-scheme] keyword arguments, take 2

I like the proposal for a lot of reasons.  One thing discussed around
the office here at NU that it doesn't address is keywords with
more/less than one argument.  For instance, keywords can conceptually
be used alone (i.e. as flags, as in (open "/dev/random" #:read-only)),
or have multiple arguments (Ryan's example was (connect #:tcp
"localhost" 80) -- connect takes a keyword specifying a protocol, and
the keyword takes however many arguments the protocol needs).  I don't
have an immediate counterproposal for how to include these, but I
think they can be useful features, especially the zero-argument "flag"
use.
