573 * scheme-memory.texi: Added a short explanation of the GC and the
574 conservative stack scanning.

1163 * scheme-modules.texi: split "Scheme and modules" into

1175 of scm_register_module_xxx, which no longer exists. A description

1188 * gh.texi, data-rep.texi: Moved `@deftyp {Data type} SCM' line
1189 from gh.texi to data-rep.texi. Both files already had similar
1190 descriptions for SCM. Given that gh.texi is deprecated, looking
1191 up `SCM' in the index should take one to the primary location
1192 rather than deprecated section. Hence this change. Added
1193 `@deftp' for scm_t_bits data type so that a proper index entry is
1194 added for this. Thanks to Richard Y. Kim!
1196 * data-rep.texi (Subrs): Changed scm_make_gsubr to

1251 taken from chapter intro.
1252 (Programming Overview): New intro para to introduce example of

1665 becomes the `Guile API Reference', and covers both Scheme and C
1666 interfaces; (2) non-API-reference material such as the `Basic
1667 Ideas in Scheme' chapter is collected together to form a new part
1668 `Programming with Guile'. This new part will contain general
1669 documentation on using and programming Guile in both Scheme and C,
1670 including - for example - awareness of GC when C programming, how
1671 to use the snarf macros, how to debug ...
