* Changes to Scheme functions and syntax
+** New module: (ice-9 setf)
+Implements generalized references a la Common LISP.
+
+* New syntax: setf! PLACE VALUE
+Puts VALUE in location specified by PLACE. setf! is more general than
+set! in the sense that PLACE can be a form (GETTER EXP1 EXP2 ...). The
+setf! expression will bw transformed into (SETTER EXP1 EXP2 ... VALUE)
+where SETTER is a procedure or macro which has previously been
+associated with GETTER.
+
+Example:
+
+ (setf! (car x) 4) <=> (set-car! x 4)
+
+* New syntax: setter GETTER
+The name of the SETTER of GETTER. The way to associate a SETTER with
+a GETTER is: (setf! (setter GETTER) SETTER)
+
+Example:
+
+ (setf! (setter car) set-car!)
+
** The range of logand, logior, logxor, logtest, and logbit? have changed.
These functions now operate on numbers in the range of a C unsigned
