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

225 appear together in the printed manual.
