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

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