1970 Ideas in Scheme' chapter is collected together to form a new part
1971 `Programming with Guile'. This new part will contain general
1972 documentation on using and programming Guile in both Scheme and C,
1973 including - for example - awareness of GC when C programming, how
1974 to use the snarf macros, how to debug ...
