This knowledge should make it straightforward to add new functions to
Guile that can be called from Scheme. Adding new data types is also
-possible and is done by defining @dfn{smobs}.
+possible and is done by defining @dfn{foreign objects}.
The @ref{Programming Overview} section of this part contains general
musings and guidelines about programming with Guile. It explores
* Linking Programs With Guile:: More precisely, with the libguile library.
* Linking Guile with Libraries:: To extend Guile itself.
* General Libguile Concepts:: General concepts for using libguile.
-* Defining New Types (Smobs):: Adding new types to Guile.
+* Defining New Foreign Object Types:: Adding new types to Guile.
* Function Snarfing:: A way to define new functions.
* Programming Overview:: An overview of Guile programming.
* Autoconf Support:: Putting m4 to good use.
