[plt-scheme] Interacting w/ MzScheme

There is a poor-man's way to get some of that in DrScheme, while you
wait for someone to develop proper tab completion. You can type this:

   string<f1>

and Help Desk will appear showing you all of the documented
functions/syntax with the word "string" in them. Not exactly what you
asked for, but it's how I cope with this problem.
