[plt-scheme] fmt

Thanks.
I would not have any problem changing the name of the package and the 
provided identifiers. Suggestions are welcome. Some time ago I tried to put 
something on PLaneT, but I got stuck on it. Where is the PLaneT doc in 
version 399? Or should I look in the doc that goes with version 370?

My own critic on my fmt is that the decision that every elementary command 
consists of one character only, makes the formats rather cryptic. May be I 
should use somewhat easier to read/remember short words, such as 'display', 
'write', 'left', 'tab', etc.

Alex Shinn, I had a look at your fmt.ss. Seems comprehensive. Do you have 
something of a documentation or at least a short description of its 
principles?
Jos
