[plt-scheme] typed teaching languages

Todd,

The following program should work:

#lang typed-scheme
(: positive-real? (Any -> Boolean))
(define (positive-real? v)
  (and (number? v) (real? v) (>= v 0)))

Currently >= expects inputs of type Number, and number? is the
predicate for the Number type.  I do not believe there is a Real type,
and real? is not recognized as a type predicate.
