2455 Ideas in Scheme' chapter is collected together to form a new part
2456 `Programming with Guile'. This new part will contain general
2457 documentation on using and programming Guile in both Scheme and C,
2458 including - for example - awareness of GC when C programming, how
2459 to use the snarf macros, how to debug ...

2556 The change log for files in this directory continues backwards
2557 from 2001-08-27 in ../ChangeLog, as all the Guile documentation
2558 prior to this date was contained in a single directory.
