[plt-scheme] provide/contract

Stephen,

Do you include the (require ...) line for image.ss *before* you have
the (provide/contract ...) form?  I've found contracts to be sensitive
to the order in which things are defined---any function definitions
used in the contracts (in this case image?, in my normal use case a
structure predicate) must be defined before the (provide/contract ...)
form is encountered.  I don't really know why this is the case, but I
assume it's hard to fix, or the PLT people would have fixed it
already.
