925 rather than deprecated section. Hence this change. Added
926 `@deftp' for scm_t_bits data type so that a proper index entry is
927 added for this. Thanks to Richard Y. Kim!

1396 * guile.texi (Top): A little top-level reshuffling, with the aims
1397 that: (1) the `Guile Scheme' (reference) part of the manual
1398 becomes the `Guile API Reference', and covers both Scheme and C
1399 interfaces; (2) non-API-reference material such as the `Basic
1400 Ideas in Scheme' chapter is collected together to form a new part
1401 `Programming with Guile'. This new part will contain general
1402 documentation on using and programming Guile in both Scheme and C,
1403 including - for example - awareness of GC when C programming, how
1404 to use the snarf macros, how to debug ...
1405 (Top): Move inclusion of scheme-indices.texi so that all indices
1406 appear together in the printed manual.
1407
1408 * Makefile.am (guile_TEXINFOS): Removed appendices.texi, added
1409 debugging.texi.
