[racket] Indenting with class

I'm not sure I understand. Are you trying to change scribble to look more
like DrRacket's indenting?

The background to my original question was that I started going through the
GUI docs at http://docs.racket-lang.org/gui/windowing-overview.html and
noticed when I typed it into DrRacket it wouldn't indent the same, so I
assumed that the docs had the correct style and I just didn't know how to
set it up in DrRacket.

I guess my new question is, what is the best way to write OO code that uses
new and a bunch of bracketed arguments? For examples of what kind of code
I'm referring to, see the windowing docs I linked to above.

As far as scribble mirroring DrRacket, I think in general it would be good
to have all the code in the docs represent the best style for that type of
code and then make sure DrRacket's defaults make that easy. Is that what
you're doing with this diff?

Sorry if I completely misunderstood your response.
