* README: Remove docs on "discouraged".
* configure.ac: Remove one more "discouraged" thing.
* doc/ref/api-deprecated.texi: Rename from api-discdepr.texi, and remove
sections on "discouraged".
* doc/ref/Makefile.am:
* doc/ref/guile.texi: Update referrers.
* libguile/foreign.c (scm_i_pointer_print): Print in hexadecimal.
* doc/ref/api-foreign.texi (Modules and Extensions): Update for
"extensiondir", and a discussion of Guile versions.
(Foreign Variables): Fix discussion of types.

* doc/ref/api-foreign.texi (Foreign Types): Remove bits about typed
foreign pointers. Add `void'.
(Foreign Variables): Update the doc of `dynamic-pointer' and the
`numptob' example. Remove `foreign-set!' and `foreign-ref'. Add
`pointer-address', `make-pointer', `%null-pointer', and
`null-pointer?'
(Void Pointers and Byte Access): Make it clear that wrapped pointers
are untyped. Remove `void' from here. Replace `foreign->bytevector'
and `bytevector->foreign' by `pointer->bytevector' and
`bytevector->pointer'. Add `dereference-pointer' and the rest of the
`numptob' example.

scm_pointer_to_bytevector): Likewise.
* module/system/foreign.scm (null-pointer?): Add docstring.
Now the random number generator state can be obtained in external
(i.e. `read'/`write'-able) form via the new procedure
`random-state->external'. An externalized state can be reinstantiated by
calling `external->random-state'.
* libguile/random.c (scm_i_init_rstate_scm, scm_i_expose_rstate): New
internal functions.
* libguile/random.c (scm_c_make_rstate_scm, scm_external_to_random_state,
scm_random_state_to_external): New public functions.
* libguile/random.h: Add prototypes for the above functions.
* libguile/random.h (scm_t_rng): Add new fields `init_rstate_scm' and
`expose_rstate'.
* libguile/random.c (scm_init_random): Initialize the new fields in
`scm_the_rng'.
R6RS character hex escapes do not conflict with legacy Guile octal
character escapes, so they can be enabled by default.
* libguile/read.c (scm_read_character): modified
* test-suite/tests/reader.test: modify character escape tests
* doc/ref/api-data.texi: modified
* doc/ref/api-options.texi: modified
The open-file port should use the 8-bit ISO-8859-1 encoding when
a file is opened using mode "b". Also, it should honor a "coding:"
declaration at the top of a file when reading files where it is present.
* libguile/fports.c (scm_open_file): modified
* test-suite/tests/ports.test: more tests for open-file
* doc/ref/api-io.texi (File Ports): more documentation for open-file
* doc/ref/tour.texi: Update Guile prompts for
scheme@(guile-user)>. Update output to assume value-history is on. Lop
and crop the bug reporting section -- it was too long.
* doc/ref/api-debug.texi (Debug on Error): Update xref.
* doc/ref/scheme-using.texi (REPL Commands): New subsection.
(Interactive Debugging): Rename from Interactive Debugger, to indicate
that debugging is just part of the REPL. Update docs.
* doc/ref/compiler.texi: Update for new ,pp meta-command.
* doc/ref/scheme-using.texi (Using Guile Interactively): Show value
history in examples.
(Value Historyx): Update docs to mention the repl option and the
programmatic interface.
* doc/ref/r6rs.texi: Fix erroneous usage of @pxref; add pointers from
`(rnrs conditions)' and `(rnrs arithmetic bitwise)' to SRFI-35 and
SRFI-60 sections; remove reference to `fold'.
* module/ice-9/psyntax.scm (set!): Handle variable transformers; though,
they cannot produce definitions.
(make-variable-transformer): New procedure.
(identifier-syntax): Allow the R6RS form that makes variable
transformers.
* module/ice-9/psyntax-pp.scm: Regenerated.
* doc/ref/r6rs.texi (R6RS Incompatibilities): Remove letrec* item, and
add set! restriction.
* libguile/Makefile.am (libpath.h): For ‘buildstamp’,
specify date(1) output format precisely, and in UTC.
* doc/ref/api-options.texi (Build Config): Update ‘buildstamp’ doc.
* doc/ref/tour.texi (Reporting Bugs): Update instructions for generating
a backtrace.
* doc/ref/scheme-using.texi: Update examples of Guile prompts, and add
an explanation of the prompt format.
* doc/ref/r6rs.texi (R6RS Support): Skeleton of docs on our R6RS
support.
* doc/ref/guile.texi:
* doc/ref/Makefile.am: Add r6rs.texi.
* doc/ref/intro.texi: Add a link to r6rs.texi.

combination of assert-nargs-ee and reserve-locals in the case in which
nreq and nlocs can both be represented in 8 bits.
* module/language/glil/compile-assembly.scm (glil->assembly): Add
compiler case.
* doc/ref/vm.texi (Function Prologue Instructions): Update docs.
* doc/ref/compiler.texi (Compiler Tower): Update for removal of version
from <language>, and add joiner and make-default-environment fields.
Update examples.
(The Scheme Compiler): Update for `macroexpand' instead of
`sc-expand', and that the environment must be a module.
(Tree-IL): Update for new Tree-IL, and change from "vars" to
"gensyms".
(GLIL): Update for new GLIL, including preludes and prompts.
(Assembly): Update for current output (which seems quite verbose).
(Bytecode and Objcode): Update for current output, and some procedure
name changes.
* doc/ref/vm.texi: Update with documentation for new-ish instructions,
and reorganize the sections a bit.
* doc/ref/compiler.texi (GLIL): Fix up a couple xrefs.
