1011 rather than deprecated section. Hence this change. Added
1012 `@deftp' for scm_t_bits data type so that a proper index entry is
1013 added for this. Thanks to Richard Y. Kim!

1482 * guile.texi (Top): A little top-level reshuffling, with the aims
1483 that: (1) the `Guile Scheme' (reference) part of the manual

1485 interfaces; (2) non-API-reference material such as the `Basic
1486 Ideas in Scheme' chapter is collected together to form a new part
1487 `Programming with Guile'. This new part will contain general
1488 documentation on using and programming Guile in both Scheme and C,
1489 including - for example - awareness of GC when C programming, how
1490 to use the snarf macros, how to debug ...

1492 appear together in the printed manual.
