Can we go with this?
* The `plot' collection has been reimplemented in Racket. It now
offers PDF output, log axes, histograms, and more. Some code that
uses `plot' will still work, and some will need light porting. The
`plot/compat' module offers expedient backward compatibility.
This names some of the new features, mentions porting, and frowns
slightly upon using `plot/compat'. :)
