   5 The features and functions described in this chapter are considered
   6 obsolete and should not be used by new programs.  They're retained for
   7 compatibility with past versions of Guile.

   9 @deffn {Scheme Procedure} substring-move-left! str1 start1 end1 str2 start2
  10 @deffnx {Scheme Procedure} substring-move-right! str1 start1 end1 str2 start2
  11 These functions are aliases for @code{substring-move!} and calls to
  12 them can simply be replaced by @code{substring-move!} (@pxref{String
  13 Modification}.)
  14
  15 In the past, if @var{str1} and @var{str2} were the same string, it was
  16 necessary to call @code{substring-move-left!} if the move was to the
  17 left (@math{@var{start2} < @var{start1}}), or call
  18 @code{substring-move-right!} if the move was to the right
  19 (@math{@var{start2} > @var{start1}}).  @code{substring-move!} is now
  20 able to do both.

  23 @deftypefn {C Function} void scm_remember (SCM *ptr)
  24 Create a reference to the object at @var{ptr}, so it's certain to be
  25 present on the stack and hence won't be freed by the garbage
  26 collector.
  27
  28 This function has been superceded by @code{scm_remember_upto_here_1}
  29 (which takes an object, not a pointer to one), @xref{Remembering
  30 During Operations}.
