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

Thanks! And it was easy to implement, thanks to Scott Owen's online
lexer/syntax colorer.

There isn't anything like that yet. I'm not sure what the right
keystroke should be. control-q doesn't work because that's quit, under
windows.

My best thought is control-[ but, as Eli pointed out offlist, it isn't
something you'd just try randomly if you were guessing.

Any other ideas? (also, it should be something that works for the
closing parens too.)

I've added provide/contract, but hash-table seemed a little too generic
at least for now, so I didn't add that one.
