[plt-scheme] show a snip in interactions pane

I believe DrScheme makes a copy of the snip before inserting it into the 
interactions editor. Since you aren't overriding <the right stuff>, the 
"copy" is probably just a string-snip%.

<the right stuff> might be just the snip% copy method. Or it might be 
the whole snip-class infrastructure. I'm not sure. Try implementing copy 
first and see if that works.
