[racket] plai test/exn

I found it immediately by searching for error on docs.racket-lang.org,
and going to the plai entry.

http://docs.racket-lang.org/plai/plai-scheme.html?q=error#(def._((lib._plai/main..rkt)._error))

Is there some other place you would expect it to be?

(It does need some scheme->racket cleanup though)
