167 rather than deprecated section. Hence this change. Added

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

641 interfaces; (2) non-API-reference material such as the `Basic
642 Ideas in Scheme' chapter is collected together to form a new part
643 `Programming with Guile'. This new part will contain general
644 documentation on using and programming Guile in both Scheme and C,
645 including - for example - awareness of GC when C programming, how
646 to use the snarf macros, how to debug ...
