710 Ideas in Scheme' chapter is collected together to form a new part
711 `Programming with Guile'. This new part will contain general
712 documentation on using and programming Guile in both Scheme and C,
713 including - for example - awareness of GC when C programming, how
714 to use the snarf macros, how to debug ...
