177 rather than deprecated section. Hence this change. Added

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

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