1506 rather than deprecated section. Hence this change. Added

1981 Ideas in Scheme' chapter is collected together to form a new part
1982 `Programming with Guile'. This new part will contain general
1983 documentation on using and programming Guile in both Scheme and C,
1984 including - for example - awareness of GC when C programming, how
1985 to use the snarf macros, how to debug ...
