Matthew Flatt 3bb120545f fix ~300 typos reported by Vladimir Nesterovich (a.k.a. Gwyth)
--- but Gwyth's amazingly helpful review of chapters 1-11
     pointed out a few problems that are more difficult to fix
     and are still pending

@margin-note{The @racket[define-package] form is based on the @racketidfont{module}
form of Chez Scheme @cite["Waddell99"].}
The @racket[define-package] form is similar to @racket[module], except
that it can appear in any definition context. The @racket[form]s
within a @racket[define-package] form can be definitions or
expressions; definitions are not visible outside the
@racket[define-package] form, but @racket[exports] determines a subset
of the bindings that can be made visible outside the package using
the definition form @racket[(open-package package-id)].
The @racket[(id ...)] and @racket[#:only (id ...)] @racket[exports]
forms are equivalent: exactly the listed @racket[id]s are
exported. The @racket[#:all-defined] form exports all definitions from
the package body, and @racket[#:all-defined-except (id ...)] exports
all definitions except the listed @racket[id]s.
All of the usual definition forms work within a
@racket[define-package] body, and such definitions are visible to all
expressions within the body (and, in particular, the definitions can
refer to each other). However, @racket[define-package] handles
@racket[define*], @racket[define*-syntax], @racket[define*-values],
@racket[define*-syntaxes], and
@racket[open*-package] specially: the bindings introduced by those
forms within a @racket[define-package] body are visible only to
@racket[form]s that appear later in the body, and they can shadow any
binding from preceding @racket[form]s (even if the preceding binding
did not use one of the special @racketidfont{*} definition forms). If
an exported identifier is defined multiple times, the last definition
is the exported one.

@defform[(package-begin form ...)]{
Similar to @racket[define-package], but it only limits the visible of
definitions without binding a package name. If the last @racket[form]
is an expression, then the expression is in @tech{tail position} for
the @racket[package-begin] form, so that its result is the
@racket[package-begin] result.
A @racket[package-begin] form can be used as an expression, but if it
is used in a context where definitions are allowed, then the
definitions are essentially spliced into the enclosing context (though
the defined bindings remain hidden outside the
@racket[package-begin]).

The @racket[package?], @racket[package-exported-identifiers], and
@racket[package-original-identifiers] functions are exported
@racket[for-syntax] by @racketmodname[racket/package].
The @racket[package?] predicate returns @racket[#t] if @racket[v] is a
package value as obtained by @racket[syntax-local-value] on an
identifier that is bound to a package.
Given such an identifier, the @racket[package-exported-identifiers]
function returns a list of identifiers that correspond to the
bindings that would be introduced by opening the package in the
lexical context being expanded. The
@racket[package-original-identifiers] function returns a parallel list
of identifiers for existing bindings of package's exports.}
