[plt-scheme] Student parsing problem

I find it hard to justify either comments or whitespace after quotes
etc even in "hacker mode" -- the only reason would be to conveniently
comment out an expression, which is redundant when there's `#;' now.

But:

I *do* find mixing comments useful -- either `;' in a `#;' or the
other way.  For example:

  (define (foo x) ...)
  #; ; this definition doesn't work because blah blah blah
  (define (foo x) ...)

and:

  (define (foo x)
    #;
    (printf "foo(~s)\n" x)
    ...)

which makes it easy to enable the debugging output with a single `;':

  (define (foo x)
    ;#;
    (printf "foo(~s)\n" x)
    ...)

and it works with multiple expressions too:

  (define (foo x)
    ;#;#;
    (printf "foo\n")
    (printf "  x = ~s\n" x)
    ...)
