 673         * gh.texi, data-rep.texi: Moved `@deftyp {Data type} SCM' line
 674         from gh.texi to data-rep.texi.  Both files already had similar
 675         descriptions for SCM.  Given that gh.texi is deprecated, looking
 676         up `SCM' in the index should take one to the primary location
 677         rather than deprecated section.  Hence this change.  Added
 678         `@deftp' for scm_t_bits data type so that a proper index entry is
 679         added for this.  Thanks to Richard Y. Kim!

1149         that: (1) the `Guile Scheme' (reference) part of the manual
1150         becomes the `Guile API Reference', and covers both Scheme and C
1151         interfaces; (2) non-API-reference material such as the `Basic
1152         Ideas in Scheme' chapter is collected together to form a new part
1153         `Programming with Guile'.  This new part will contain general
1154         documentation on using and programming Guile in both Scheme and C,
1155         including - for example - awareness of GC when C programming, how
1156         to use the snarf macros, how to debug ...
