765 not code. Put results of evaluation on the same line as @result
766 symbols. Use @print example as example of total usage, and remind

1446 from gh.texi to data-rep.texi. Both files already had similar
1447 descriptions for SCM. Given that gh.texi is deprecated, looking
1448 up `SCM' in the index should take one to the primary location
1449 rather than deprecated section. Hence this change. Added
1450 `@deftp' for scm_t_bits data type so that a proper index entry is
1451 added for this. Thanks to Richard Y. Kim!
1452
1453 * data-rep.texi (Subrs): Changed scm_make_gsubr to
1454 scm_c_define_gsubr. Thanks to Richard Y. Kim!

1916
1917 * scheme-indices.texi (R5RS Index, Guile Extensions Index): Use
1918 @unnumbered rather than @chapter for these indices.
1919
1920 * guile.texi (Top): A little top-level reshuffling, with the aims
1921 that: (1) the `Guile Scheme' (reference) part of the manual
1922 becomes the `Guile API Reference', and covers both Scheme and C
1923 interfaces; (2) non-API-reference material such as the `Basic
1924 Ideas in Scheme' chapter is collected together to form a new part
1925 `Programming with Guile'. This new part will contain general
1926 documentation on using and programming Guile in both Scheme and C,
1927 including - for example - awareness of GC when C programming, how
1928 to use the snarf macros, how to debug ...
1929 (Top): Move inclusion of scheme-indices.texi so that all indices
1930 appear together in the printed manual.

1933 debugging.texi.

1942 become a chapter in ...
