+Whalesong
+=========
+
+This fork of Whalesong differs from dyoo/whalesong in the following ways:
+
+  * Builds on latest release of Racket
+    (fixes the x undefined problem)
+  * Adds for
+    (require whalesong/lang/for)
+  * Adds match
+    (require whalesong/lang/match)
+  * Adds parameters
+    (require whalesong/lang/parameters)
+    
+Note: The implementation of parameters works fine,
+      as long as you don't mix parameterize with non-local-exits
+      and reentries (i.e. call/cc and friends)
+
