1937 interfaces; (2) non-API-reference material such as the `Basic
1938 Ideas in Scheme' chapter is collected together to form a new part
1939 `Programming with Guile'. This new part will contain general
1940 documentation on using and programming Guile in both Scheme and C,
1941 including - for example - awareness of GC when C programming, how
1942 to use the snarf macros, how to debug ...
