The spelling mistake is a clear fix, but the Arrays fix might not be as
obvious. Previously, with the "arrays" alias, the @ref macro would
render a superfluous period after the word "arrays", rendering (at least
within Emacs) as:
you may wish to use see arrays. instead.

If we got interrupted while waiting on our condition variable, we unlock
the kernel mutex momentarily while executing asynchronous operations
before putting us back into the waiting queue.
However, we have to retry acquiring the mutex before getting back into
the queue, otherwise it's possible that we wait indefinitely since
nobody could be the owner for a while.
* libguile/threads.c (lock_mutex): Try acquring the mutex after signal
interruption.

The definition and the declaration for scm_integer_from_mpz
do not match
* libguile/integers.c (scm_integer_from_mpz): takes const mpz_t arg
No callers need to be changed.
Since Guile requires a C99 compiler, we can rely on signal handlers
returning void, not int.

* libguile/scmsigs.c (SIGRETTYPE): remove SIGRETTYPE
(take_signal): returns void
(scm_sigaction_for_thread): presumes handlers return void
These are important for reliable networking, since they prevent network
operations from hanging indefinitely.

On MinGW, 'system' uses a non-posix shell that does not handle
apostrophe as a quoting character. For this test, quoting a command-line
with double quotes allows it to be run with both /bin/sh and cmd.exe.

quoting command line
The standalone egrep script has been deprecated by GNU grep.
'grep -E' is the suggested replacement.
* test-suite/tests/c-api.test (egrep): replace egrep with grep -E
* module/srfi/srfi-35.scm (condition): Use 'make-exception' instead of
'make-compound-condition', which is unbound in this module.
* test-suite/tests/srfi-35.test ("syntax")["compound condition,
hygienic macro expansion"]: New test.
* doc/ref/sxml.texi (7.21.4 Transforming SXML): Adds a mention to the
module to be imported for the procedures introduced in this section of
the documentation..
