[plt-scheme] can't get caret-hiding working with selection

I think you want text:hide-caret/selection% from the framework.

You might want to use the lock method, rather than overriding the
can-insert? and can-delete? methods.

The caret-hidden? definition is creating a private field that is bound
to a procedure (it isn't a method and it isn't overriding anything).
Did you intend that?
