Eli Barzilay ac26fe7554 A ton of @scheme*' -> @racket*' and related updates.
Also, updates some of the mzlib files to point at `racket/*' libraries
rather than to `scheme/*' ones.

@(require "common.rkt")
@defclass/title[editor-stream-out% object% ()]{
An @racket[editor-stream-out%] object is used to write editor
information to a file or other output stream (such as the
clipboard).
@defconstructor/make[([base (is-a?/c editor-stream-out-base%)])]{
An out-stream base---possibly an
@racket[editor-stream-out-bytes-base%] object---must be supplied in
@racket[base].
}
@defmethod[(jump-to [pos exact-nonnegative-integer?])
void?]{
Jumps to a given position in the stream.
}
@defmethod[(ok?)
boolean?]{
Returns @racket[#t] if the stream is ready for writing, @racket[#f] otherwise.
Writing to a bad stream has no effect.
}
@defmethod[(pretty-finish)
void?]{
Ensures that the stream ends with a newline.
This method is called by
@racket[write-editor-global-footer].
}
@defmethod[(pretty-start)
void?]{
Writes a ``comment'' into the stream that identifies the file format.
This method is called by @racket[write-editor-global-header].
}
@defmethod*[([(put [n exact-nonnegative-integer?]
[v bytes?])
(is-a?/c editor-stream-out%)]
[(put [v bytes?])
(is-a?/c editor-stream-out%)]
[(put [v exact-integer?])
(is-a?/c editor-stream-out%)]
[(put [v real?])
(is-a?/c editor-stream-out%)])]{
Writes @racket[v], or @racket[n] bytes of @racket[v].
When @racket[n] is supplied with a byte-string @racket[v], use
@method[editor-stream-in% get-unterminated-bytes] to read the bytes
later. This is the recommended way to write out bytes to
be easily read in later; use @method[editor-stream-in%
get-unterminated-bytes] to read the bytes back in.
If @racket[n] is not supplied and @racket[v] is a byte string, then
for historical reasons, the actual number of bytes written includes a
@racket[#\nul] terminator, so use @method[editor-stream-in%
get-bytes] instead of @method[editor-stream-in%
get-unterminated-bytes] to read the bytes later.
}
@defmethod[(put-fixed [v exact-integer?])
(is-a?/c editor-stream-out%)]{
Puts a fixed-sized integer into the stream. This method is needed
because numbers are usually written in a way that takes varying
numbers of bytes. In some cases it is useful to temporary write a
@racket[0] to a stream, write more data, and then go back and change
the @racket[0] to another number; such a process requires a
fixed-size number.
Numbers written to a stream with @method[editor-stream-out% put-fixed]
must be read with @method[editor-stream-in% get-fixed-exact]
or @method[editor-stream-in% get-fixed].}
@defmethod[(put-unterminated [v bytes?]) (is-a?/c editor-stream-out%)]{
The same as calling @method[editor-stream-out% put] with
@racket[(bytes-length v)] and @racket[v].}
@defmethod[(tell)
exact-nonnegative-integer?]{
Returns the current stream position.
