* scheme-scheduling.texi (Threads): Note Guile uses POSIX threads, for
concurrency and preemption.

code in threads, add commented out reminders for SCM_TICK and
guile-mode, for when those features are ready.

and partition!, emphasise the multi-value return, note partition may
share a tail with the given list.

not code. Put results of evaluation on the same line as @result
symbols. Use @print example as example of total usage, and remind

* scheme-modules.texi (Compiled Code Modules): Removed description
of scm_register_module_xxx, which no longer exists. A description
of current techniques is needed.

* scheme-data.texi (Numbers): Added description of the new values
+inf.0, -inf.0 and +nan.0.

* gh.texi, data-rep.texi: Moved `@deftyp {Data type} SCM' line
from gh.texi to data-rep.texi. Both files already had similar
descriptions for SCM. Given that gh.texi is deprecated, looking
up `SCM' in the index should take one to the primary location
rather than deprecated section. Hence this change. Added
`@deftp' for scm_t_bits data type so that a proper index entry is
added for this. Thanks to Richard Y. Kim!
* data-rep.texi (Subrs): Changed scm_make_gsubr to
scm_c_define_gsubr. Thanks to Richard Y. Kim!

Ideas in Scheme' chapter is collected together to form a new part
`Programming with Guile'. This new part will contain general
documentation on using and programming Guile in both Scheme and C,
