[racket] improving image quality

That's what I do for superscripts. LaTeX would definitely be awesomer.

The change to allow picts would be pretty invasive. Everything that 
computes sizes and baselines would have to change. I'd like Typed Racket 
to prove that I haven't forgotten anything, so I'll do it after I 
convert Plot to TR.
