110 rather than deprecated section. Hence this change. Added
111 `@deftp' for scm_t_bits data type so that a proper index entry is
112 added for this. Thanks to Richard Y. Kim!

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

584 interfaces; (2) non-API-reference material such as the `Basic
585 Ideas in Scheme' chapter is collected together to form a new part
586 `Programming with Guile'. This new part will contain general
587 documentation on using and programming Guile in both Scheme and C,
588 including - for example - awareness of GC when C programming, how
589 to use the snarf macros, how to debug ...
590 (Top): Move inclusion of scheme-indices.texi so that all indices
591 appear together in the printed manual.
