169 not code. Put results of evaluation on the same line as @result
170 symbols. Use @print example as example of total usage, and remind
171 readers not to forget the difference.

1324 Ideas in Scheme' chapter is collected together to form a new part
1325 `Programming with Guile'. This new part will contain general
1326 documentation on using and programming Guile in both Scheme and C,
1327 including - for example - awareness of GC when C programming, how
1328 to use the snarf macros, how to debug ...

1330 appear together in the printed manual.
