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

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