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