[plt-scheme] structure inspectors

Thanks for the tip---I didn't know about print-struct; that solves one 
part of my mystification about inspectors.  But how does this 
apply to built-in structures?  I can't simply pass an inspector to 
the-style-list because it is already defined, so I still have the problem 
of the code being opaque.
