[plt-scheme] Preventing built-in functions to be redefined

I don't remember if there is a parameter to change this behaviour. One
way to get the effect you want is to require the language your module
is written. Try this and you'll get an error about redefinition

#lang scheme

(require scheme)
(define define 5)

In the years I've been writing Scheme this has never caused a problem for me.
