158 rather than deprecated section. Hence this change. Added

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

632 interfaces; (2) non-API-reference material such as the `Basic
633 Ideas in Scheme' chapter is collected together to form a new part
634 `Programming with Guile'. This new part will contain general
635 documentation on using and programming Guile in both Scheme and C,
636 including - for example - awareness of GC when C programming, how
637 to use the snarf macros, how to debug ...
638 (Top): Move inclusion of scheme-indices.texi so that all indices
639 appear together in the printed manual.
