argument was accepted, and that value was stored in the value record.
(delay): Support expressions that return any number of arguments.
(force): Return the list of values stored in the value record.
(promise?): Export.

omitted from some procedure definitions (e.g. `request-method').
Minor tweaks, such as using en-dash and missing markup as appropriate.

second argument of 'scm_ash' from 'cnt' to 'count'.
* test-suite/tests/numbers.test (round-ash, ash): Add new unified
testing framework for 'ash' and 'round-ash'. Previously, the tests
for 'ash' were not very comprehensive; for example, they did not
include a single test where the number to be shifted was a bignum.

'round-ash'. Improve documentation for `ash'.

paths as being relative to the file that does the `include'.
* doc/ref/api-evaluation.texi: Update docs.

example instead of macros. Performance is really not a concern with
this interface, especially now that scm_car and scm_cdr are inline
functions.

scm_new_double_smob instead of the SCM_NEWSMOB / SCM_RETURN_NEWSMOB

* doc/ref/sxml.texi:
* doc/ref/texinfo.texi: New files, containing the documentation that was
previously generated from source and rendered into
standard-library.texi. The documentation is still horrible, but at
least now it is user-editable.
hierarchy.png (and .pdf, .eps) were changed to add one node
to the graph, getting them in sync with hierarchy.txt
(and the GOOPS section of the manual).

is an alternate, use bind-optionals/shuffle-or-br instead of
bind-optionals/shuffle.
* test-suite/tests/optargs.test ("case-lambda*"): Add tests.
* module/ice-9/iconv.scm (call-with-encoded-output-string):
(string->bytevector, bytevector->string): Take an optional instead of
a keyword argument.
