1417 rather than deprecated section. Hence this change. Added

1419 added for this. Thanks to Richard Y. Kim!

1888 * guile.texi (Top): A little top-level reshuffling, with the aims
1889 that: (1) the `Guile Scheme' (reference) part of the manual

1891 interfaces; (2) non-API-reference material such as the `Basic
1892 Ideas in Scheme' chapter is collected together to form a new part
1893 `Programming with Guile'. This new part will contain general
1894 documentation on using and programming Guile in both Scheme and C,
1895 including - for example - awareness of GC when C programming, how
1896 to use the snarf macros, how to debug ...

1898 appear together in the printed manual.
