[plt-scheme] Drscheme syntax highlighting and #;

I encountered a similar problem while writing DrOCaml. The
framework.ss text area can only highlight text based on its lexical
structure, rather than its parse tree. I wanted comments to be
highlighted as a single color, but in doing so, I gave up
paren-matching for comments. So if you typed (* (* (* *) *) *), the
only way to know that you finished closing the comments is that the
color would switch back to normal afterwards. Not so ideal.

To the contrary, I think quasicomment and uncomment would be extremely
useful. If I'm writing something like this:

(if complicated-expression a b)

and I'm trying to debug complicated-expression, I'd love to be able to
say (with a better concrete syntax, obviously):

#;(if complicated-expression #{uncomment}a b)
