[racket] racket/place seems to be incompatible with DrRacket

Thanks for the followup, Kevin. Signalling an error sounds like the
right thing for the symbol case. I worry a little bit about how to
phrase it so people who run places in an unsaved drracket don't get
confused, tho. Maybe you have a good idea?

Doing something with the IO ports sounds good.

Did you have in mind just passing the ports over in the case that they
are file ports or pipes? That is, in all cases, you'd get something
where the new place's io goes to the old place's ports?
