[plt-scheme] Catch all exceptions

Well, I guess I have to see what exceptions my extension can throw, and only grab those. It's for my little RPC, where the server talks to the hardware through my driver (which can throw exceptions). The exceptions are caught, and print-convert'd across a socket and have it raised on the other side. It works right now for all exceptions, but now that you mention it I'll have to isolate the ones that can occur in the driver, and let local exceptions be handled by the server.

So would my test look like this?

(define (my-exn? exn)
	(cond ((eq? exn 'exn:user) #t)
		 ((eq? exn 'exn:io) #t)
		 (else #f)))
