[plt-scheme] send/suspend: when the response relies on the request

When send/suspend is used, there is always _a_ request in scope. For example:

(module s mzscheme
  (require (lib "servlet.ss" "web-server"))
  (provide (all-defined))
  (define timeout 120)
  (define interface-version 'v1)
  (define (start request0)
    (let ([request1 (send/suspend (lambda (k) (something-with request0)))])
      (something-with request1))))
