[plt-scheme] If expressions in Embedded PLT Scheme

So, we're back to a variant of the question: How does one tell an  
embedded PLT Scheme interpreter (as described in http://docs.plt-scheme.org/inside/) 
  to use a different variant of Scheme (e.g., the legacy MzScheme) or  
to permit "one-armed 'if""?  It strikes me that some sort of  
"backwards compatibility" mode should be available.

Thanks!
