207 added for this. Thanks to Richard Y. Kim!

679 interfaces; (2) non-API-reference material such as the `Basic
680 Ideas in Scheme' chapter is collected together to form a new part
681 `Programming with Guile'. This new part will contain general
682 documentation on using and programming Guile in both Scheme and C,
683 including - for example - awareness of GC when C programming, how
684 to use the snarf macros, how to debug ...
