[plt-scheme] comprehensive list of PLT Scheme functions (DrScheme big)

Thanks to Matthias, Jacob, Bill, and Robby for your replies.

Yes, the return from namespace-mapped-symbols is pretty big.  It would
be nice to have that list integrated in Help and perhaps categorized and
alphabetized. The dwell with cursor and F1 is a fine way to get to
something specific IMO.
