[plt-scheme] Re: Scheme workshop survey

Dear Marc,

I am deeply disappointed to find out that the survey's designer does
not know Scheme.  Apparently

  (car '((a b c) x y z))

does NOT evaluate to

  '(a b c)

(It apparently also doesn't evaluate to

(cons 'a (cons 'b (cons 'c empty)))

or to various other expressions that use call/cc, but I can excuse
those.  The first error is unacceptable.)

Cheers,
Shriram
