;;; Commentary:

;; This is an implementation of SRFI-39 (Parameter objects).
;;
;; The implementation is based on Guile's fluid objects, and is, therefore,
;; thread-safe (parameters are thread-local).
;;
;; In addition to the forms defined in SRFI-39 (`make-parameter',
;; `parameterize'), a new procedure `with-parameters*' is provided.
;; This procedures is analogous to `with-fluids*' but taking as first
;; argument a list of parameter objects instead of a list of fluids.
;;
