[plt-scheme] Redefining function from scheme/base

Do you have to call your function 'real->decimal-string'? Will 
'my:real->decimal-string' work for you?

If your answer to the first question is yes, then the old trick is to 
make you own language (as a module) that exports your 
'real->decimal-string' and everything else from scheme. Then you can 
base you  other modules on your own language instead of scheme/base.
