1567 from gh.texi to data-rep.texi. Both files already had similar
1568 descriptions for SCM. Given that gh.texi is deprecated, looking

1570 rather than deprecated section. Hence this change. Added
1571 `@deftp' for scm_t_bits data type so that a proper index entry is
1572 added for this. Thanks to Richard Y. Kim!

1622 Blocks): Move malloc-stats to memory management chapter.
1623
1624 * scheme-procedures.texi (Syntax Rules): Remove mention of

2041 * guile.texi (Top): A little top-level reshuffling, with the aims
2042 that: (1) the `Guile Scheme' (reference) part of the manual

2044 interfaces; (2) non-API-reference material such as the `Basic
2045 Ideas in Scheme' chapter is collected together to form a new part
2046 `Programming with Guile'. This new part will contain general
2047 documentation on using and programming Guile in both Scheme and C,
2048 including - for example - awareness of GC when C programming, how
2049 to use the snarf macros, how to debug ...

2146 The change log for files in this directory continues backwards
2147 from 2001-08-27 in ../ChangeLog, as all the Guile documentation
2148 prior to this date was contained in a single directory.
