[plt-scheme] Emacs modes and s-expression comments

Carl, please first read the DrScheme manual before you make such
claims. You're wrong on both points in your first paragraph.

list is not the place for such debates. Please join the PLT bashers on
the IRC channel and leave this forum to people who want to get real
work done.
