[plt-scheme] DrScheme now rewrites opening square brackets, too

Cool!  That'll be nice to use!

Is there a way to tell DrScheme that, in this one instance, I really
want an open square bracket?  Something like C-q [ in Emacs, for
instance.  (This may actually work already; I haven't tried this out.)

In addition to the cases you mentioned, Robby, I tend to use square
brackets to group things that are not themselves applications or special
forms:

    (provide/contract [f (integer? . -> . integer?)]
                      [g (integer? string? . -> . char?)])

    (hash-table ['key value] ['key-2 value-2] ...)

And so on.  Unfortunately, since these situations usually arise in macro
arguments---and because I like to do this with macros that I write---I
don't think we can expect DrScheme to recognize these situations and Do
the Right Thing automatically.  Thus, something like C-q would be nice.
