[plt-scheme] literal-identifiers and modules

Well, it seems wrong but I think I know the problem.

(z (+ 1 2)) actually recieves as parameters +, 1 and 2. Since + is a 
literal it expects the parameter + to be the same as the in-module +, 
and produces an error whenever it is not.
The + inside the module is not the same as the + outside, and providing 
it in the module solves your problem.
