That makes sense in retrospect. Adding an extra scope makes
`syntax-original?` produce #f for everything in whole module, and that
makes DrRacket ignore the identifiers.

I think `make-syntax-introducer` should probably accept an optional
argument to specify that the new scope should *not* indicate
non-original syntax.

I don't know yet, either, but I'll investigate.
