I tried different ways of getting C-( and ), including ?:c:s:(, but the
only thing that works is using c:s:9, which of course works only in case
of some keymaps. That is, it will work all the time, but only on some
keymaps it will correspond to C-(.

I've actually sat down and prepared some improvements:

- This will allow DrRacket to properly display function names in list of
  active key bindings, which is quite nice, as you can easily discover
  what key bindings are available using already existing GUI.

https://github.com/pitkali/drracket-paredit/commit/e8577a43620165f67ed4a7d19b4b6132257a0960

- This adds alternative key bindings, so that it will work as before on
  non-mac platforms, and if you set Mac GUI to use Command key as Meta,
  but also adds key bindings using esc; for meta, and alternative Emacs
  key bindings for slurpage and barfage.

Would you want me to make a pull request?
