[plt-scheme] Changing the draw behaviour of a selected editor snip

The way that a selection is drawn is currently not an overrideable
method. It's built into the `draw' method in
"collects/mred/private/wxme/pasteboard.ss".

If you'd like to change "pasteboard.ss" to add a method, I'd be willing
to apply a patch.

More generally, if you think it would be easier to work at the same
level as "pasteboard.ss" and "text.ss" (reusing part of the
"pasteboard.ss" implementation, but not all of it), I think it would
make sense to add "grid.ss" as a third kind of built-in `editor<%>'.
