[plt-scheme] the "[" as a parenthis charactor

The "[" is rebound to be "smart". Try typing this:

  [let [[x 5]] x]
  [cond [[= 1 2] 3] [else 5]]

with the keystrokes implied above and see what actually comes out.

You can disable it in the preferences, or if you just want a single [,
you can type control-[
