[plt-scheme] RE: [plt-bug] all/10959: namespace-variable-value cannot find 'apply' in base-namespace

There's the usual notes: Follow the "Release Notes" link from the main
doc page and then the "Porting from v4.x to v5.x" link.

This particular change isn't in v5.0, but I will add it to the notes
for v5.0.0.1. Even more significantly, I see that the ".ss" <-> ".rkt"
correspondence isn't mentioned anywhere, and it should be.
