Scheme files can be autoloaded. Thus, we recommend that you define
your modules in Scheme.

-We use some conventions in this manual.
-
-@itemize @bullet
-
-@item
-For some procedures, notably type predicates, we use ``iff'' to mean
-``if and only if''. The construct is usually something like: `Return
-@var{val} iff @var{condition}', where @var{val} is usually
-``@nicode{#t}'' or ``non-@nicode{#f}''. This typically means that
-@var{val} is returned if @var{condition} holds, and that @samp{#f} is
-returned otherwise. To clarify: @var{val} will @strong{only} be
-returned when @var{condition} is true.
-@cindex iff
-
-@item
-In examples and procedure descriptions and all other places where the
-evaluation of Scheme expression is shown, we use some notation for
-denoting the output and evaluation results of expressions.
-
-The symbol @samp{@result{}} is used to tell which value is returned by
-an evaluation:
-
-@lisp
-(+ 1 2)
-@result{} 3
-@end lisp
-
-Some procedures produce some output besides returning a value. This
-is denoted by the symbol @samp{@print{}}.
-
-@lisp
-(begin (display 1) (newline) 'hooray)
-@print{} 1
-@result{} hooray
-@end lisp
-
-As you can see, this code prints @samp{1} (denoted by
-@samp{@print{}}), and returns @code{hooray} (denoted by
-@samp{@result{}}). Do not confuse the two.
-
-@c Add other conventions here.
