(Reporting Bugs fits better immediately after the tour of how to use
Guile)
* doc/ref/intro.texi: Move `Manual Conventions' to after `Reporting
Bugs', and rename to `Typographical Conventions'.
* doc/ref/intro.texi (Discouraged and Deprecated): Move from here...
* doc/ref/api-discdepr.texi: ...to new file here.
* doc/ref/guile.texi: Include api-discdepr.texi, and include
`Discouraged and Deprecated' in API chapter menu.
* doc/ref/Makefile.am (guile_TEXINFOS): Add api-discdepr.texi.
(The principle here is that Preface should only contain
meta-information about the manual, such as how to use it and who wrote
it; plus any political points that we want to draw attention to.)
* doc/ref/preface.texi (Preface): Make unnumbered, for consistency
with other GNU manuals (e.g. Emacs, GSL). Merge layout text into
top level. Simplify first sentence. Move section on conventions
away...
* doc/ref/intro.texi (Introduction to Guile): ...to here.
A few of the @xref references to external manuals in the documentation
are using an old 4-argument form that produces an undefined reference
in the printed manual. The following patch makes them consistent with
the 5-argument @xrefs used elsewhere in the manual.

Subject: [PATCH] make the use of the 5-argument @xref command consistent
when referring to other manuals.
This patch adds a short introduction to the SLIB section of the manual
with a link to the SLIB homepage.

Subject: [PATCH] added brief introduction about SLIB
In the "Hash Tables Example" in the manual, hashq needs 2 arguments
instead of 1 (patch below). I've updated the hash table output as
well to match the current version.

Subject: [PATCH] update docs for Hash Table Examples
hashq now takes two arguments
order of elements in hash table is different now
* meta/uninstalled-env.in: Don't use the `-q' and `-E' options, which are
specific to GNU grep. Don't set-and-export environment variables at
once since this is a GNU Bash extension.
They made Sun C 5.8 emit a warning such as:
line 71: warning: dead part of constant expression is nonconstant
* libguile/print.c (scm_print_opts): Don't use `SCM_UNPACK ()' here.
* libguile/read.c (scm_read_opts): Likewise.
* libguile/frames.c, libguile/objcodes.c, libguile/programs.c,
libguile/vm-engine.c, libguile/vm-i-system.c, libguile/vm.c: Use
`SCM_C_OBJCODE_BASE ()' instead of accessing the `base' field of
`struct scm_objcode'.
* libguile/objcodes.h (struct scm_objcode)[base]: Remove.
Earlier versions of ltdl would look for extensions under $PWD; this
behavior changed in 2.2.6b.
* test-suite/standalone/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Define
$builddir.
* test-suite/standalone/test-asmobs: Specify the full path to
`libtest-asmobs', using $builddir.
* test-suite/standalone/test-extensions: Likewise.
* libguile/memoize.c (MAKMEMO_CALL): Memoize in the number of arguments
at the call site.
(memoize, scm_m_cond, memoize_named_let, unmemoize):
* libguile/eval.c (eval): Adapt to changes in call memoization.
* module/ice-9/eval.scm (primitive-eval): For calls, pass the first N
arguments directly on the stack, and only the rest as a consed
argument list to apply. Currently N is 4.
* module/ice-9/eval.scm (primitive-eval): When making a closure with N
formals, actuall return a closure with N formals, if N is less than
*max-static-argument-count*, which currently is 8. If N is greater
than 8, do the arg-parsing loop as we did before. Requires some
macrology, but should reduce unnecessary consing for interpreted
closures.
* test-suite/tests/goops.test:
* test-suite/tests/hooks.test: Now that checks like (thunk? foo) are
going to work as a for interpreted code, remove some (throw
'unresolved).
* libguile/vm.h (struct scm_vm): Remove "time" and "clock" members. The
time was bogusly measured, and the "clock" measured instructions
retired, which is not a very useful measurement, and it was causing
lots of memory accesses. Not that I have done a proper profile,
though...
(scm_vm_stats): Remove this procedure, which provided access to "time"
and "clock".
* libguile/vm.c:
* libguile/vm-engine.h:
* libguile/vm-engine.c:
* libguile/vm-i-system.c: Adapt to scm_vm changes and scm_vm_stats
removal.
* module/system/repl/command.scm:
* module/system/vm/vm.scm: Adapt to vm-stats removal by removing
vm-stats from <repl>.
