1427 * guile.texi (Top): A little top-level reshuffling, with the aims
1428 that: (1) the `Guile Scheme' (reference) part of the manual
1429 becomes the `Guile API Reference', and covers both Scheme and C
1430 interfaces; (2) non-API-reference material such as the `Basic
1431 Ideas in Scheme' chapter is collected together to form a new part
1432 `Programming with Guile'. This new part will contain general
1433 documentation on using and programming Guile in both Scheme and C,
1434 including - for example - awareness of GC when C programming, how
1435 to use the snarf macros, how to debug ...
1436 (Top): Move inclusion of scheme-indices.texi so that all indices
1437 appear together in the printed manual.
1438
