1107 Clarify meaning of `iff' further for those that didn't get it the
1108 first time 'round (like me). Make graphical indicators samples,
1109 not code. Put results of evaluation on the same line as @result
1110 symbols. Use @print example as example of total usage, and remind
1111 readers not to forget the difference.
1113 2003-11-17 Marius Vollmer <mvo@zagadka.de>
1115 * scheme-modules.texi: Document '@' and '@@'.

1725 documentation for scm_c_make_gsubr and scm_c_define_gsubr.
1726 * scheme-modules.texi (Compiled Code Modules): replace
1727 gh_new_procedure with scm_c_define_gsubr.

1743 2002-08-08 Marius Vollmer <marius.vollmer@uni-dortmund.de>
1745 * scheme-binding.texi: Don't talk about 'bound?' which is gone.
1746 Thanks to Christopher Cramer.
1748 2002-08-06 Han-Wen Nienhuys <hanwen@cs.uu.nl>

1793 rather than deprecated section. Hence this change. Added
1794 `@deftp' for scm_t_bits data type so that a proper index entry is
1795 added for this. Thanks to Richard Y. Kim!

1852 taken from chapter intro.
