[plt-scheme] word completion for module based languages

Oh, right. It is an abbreviation for "(module ..." that's true. But if
your language works as the second argument to module, our tools are,
generally speaking, gearing towards supporting the language that way.
The times when using the language dialog is more appropriate is for
writing languages that beginners use or things like that where the
potential for more general error messages might be a problem.
