1575 from gh.texi to data-rep.texi. Both files already had similar
1576 descriptions for SCM. Given that gh.texi is deprecated, looking
1577 up `SCM' in the index should take one to the primary location
1578 rather than deprecated section. Hence this change. Added
1579 `@deftp' for scm_t_bits data type so that a proper index entry is
1580 added for this. Thanks to Richard Y. Kim!

1630 Blocks): Move malloc-stats to memory management chapter.
1631
1632 * scheme-procedures.texi (Syntax Rules): Remove mention of

2049 * guile.texi (Top): A little top-level reshuffling, with the aims
2050 that: (1) the `Guile Scheme' (reference) part of the manual
2051 becomes the `Guile API Reference', and covers both Scheme and C
2052 interfaces; (2) non-API-reference material such as the `Basic
2053 Ideas in Scheme' chapter is collected together to form a new part
2054 `Programming with Guile'. This new part will contain general
2055 documentation on using and programming Guile in both Scheme and C,
2056 including - for example - awareness of GC when C programming, how
2057 to use the snarf macros, how to debug ...

2154 The change log for files in this directory continues backwards
2155 from 2001-08-27 in ../ChangeLog, as all the Guile documentation
2156 prior to this date was contained in a single directory.
