	* scheme-indices.texi (R5RS Index, Guile Extensions Index): Use
	@unnumbered rather than @chapter for these indices.

	* guile.texi (Top): A little top-level reshuffling, with the aims
	that: (1) the `Guile Scheme' (reference) part of the manual

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

	appear together in the printed manual.

	debugging.texi.

	procedures, SRFI-19 Date object and accessors, SRFI-19

	prior to this date was contained in a single directory.
