[racket-dev] PLaneT Library of Iterations/Comprehensions

Hi Will,

My "numerics" package on Github has for/vector with some slight
extensions to yours. I think it also has more error checking so you
might want to look at it. I also have for/fold/vector and some
sequence abstractions. The code is all parameterised at expansion time
by the vector representation.
