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.

(local-name-id external-name-id)])]{
A form that exports names and records documentation information.
The @racket[doc-label-id] identifier is used as a key for accessing
the documentation through @racket[lookup-documentation]. The actual
documentation is organized into ``rows'', each with a section title.
A @racket[row] has one of the following forms:
@itemize[
@item{@racket[(section-string (name type-datum doc-string ...) ...)]
Creates a documentation section whose title is @racket[section-string],
and provides/documents each @racket[name]. The @racket[type-datum] is arbitrary,
for use by clients that call @racket[lookup-documentation]. The
@racket[doc-string]s are also arbitrary documentation information,
usually concatenated by clients.
A @racket[name] is either an identifier or a renaming sequence
@racket[(local-name-id extenal-name-id)].
Multiple @racket[row]s with the same section name will be merged in the
documentation output. The final order of sections matches the order of
the first mention of each section.}
@item{@racket[(all-from prefix-id module-path doc-label-id)]}
@item{@racket[(all-from-except prefix-id module-path doc-label-id id ...)]
Merges documentation and provisions from the specified module
into the current one; the @racket[prefix-id] is used to prefix the imports
into the current module (so they can be re-exported). If @racket[id]s are
provided, the specified @racket[id]s are not re-exported and their
documentation is not merged.}]}
@defproc[(lookup-documentation [module-path-v module-path?]
[label-sym symbol?])
any]{
Returns documentation for the specified module and label. The
@racket[module-path-v] argument is a quoted module path, like the
argument to @racket[dynamic-require]. The
@racket[label-sym] identifies a set of documentation using the symbol
as a label identifier in @racket[provide-and-document].}
