1316 from gh.texi to data-rep.texi. Both files already had similar

1319 rather than deprecated section. Hence this change. Added
1320 `@deftp' for scm_t_bits data type so that a proper index entry is
1321 added for this. Thanks to Richard Y. Kim!

1789
1790 * guile.texi (Top): A little top-level reshuffling, with the aims
1791 that: (1) the `Guile Scheme' (reference) part of the manual
1792 becomes the `Guile API Reference', and covers both Scheme and C
1793 interfaces; (2) non-API-reference material such as the `Basic
1794 Ideas in Scheme' chapter is collected together to form a new part
1795 `Programming with Guile'. This new part will contain general
1796 documentation on using and programming Guile in both Scheme and C,
1797 including - for example - awareness of GC when C programming, how
1798 to use the snarf macros, how to debug ...
1799 (Top): Move inclusion of scheme-indices.texi so that all indices
1800 appear together in the printed manual.
1801
1802 * Makefile.am (guile_TEXINFOS): Removed appendices.texi, added
1803 debugging.texi.
