711 not code. Put results of evaluation on the same line as @result
712 symbols. Use @print example as example of total usage, and remind
713 readers not to forget the difference.

1395 rather than deprecated section. Hence this change. Added
1396 `@deftp' for scm_t_bits data type so that a proper index entry is
1397 added for this. Thanks to Richard Y. Kim!
