[plt-scheme] abstracting over (PLaneT) requires

You can re-provide required elements with all-from-out.

I tend to do this in a module called base.ss that is used by all other  
modules in the code:

     -- base.ss --

     #lang scheme
     (require (planet foo/bar:1))
     (provide (all-from-out (planet foo/bar:1)))

     -- other.ss --

     #lang scheme
     (require "base.ss")

The module acts as the abstraction.
