[plt-scheme] SRFI 9 (record) vs struct

Check the implementation of SRFI 9 in PLT Scheme, and you will find out
it is just syntax sugar on top of structs. Obviously structs have
features that the SRFI 9 API doesn't export, so structs are more
powerful. On the other side, if you want portable Scheme code, quite
many Scheme implementations supports SRFI 9, but structs is specific to PLT.
