1829 * guile.texi (Top): A little top-level reshuffling, with the aims
1830 that: (1) the `Guile Scheme' (reference) part of the manual
1831 becomes the `Guile API Reference', and covers both Scheme and C
1832 interfaces; (2) non-API-reference material such as the `Basic
1833 Ideas in Scheme' chapter is collected together to form a new part
1834 `Programming with Guile'. This new part will contain general
1835 documentation on using and programming Guile in both Scheme and C,
1836 including - for example - awareness of GC when C programming, how
1837 to use the snarf macros, how to debug ...
1838 (Top): Move inclusion of scheme-indices.texi so that all indices
1839 appear together in the printed manual.
