-@node Libguile Intro
-@chapter Using Guile as an Extension Language
-
-The chapters in this part of the manual explain how to use Guile as a
-powerful application extension language.
-
-An important change for the 1.6.x series of Guile releases is that the
-GH interface is now deprecated. For the reasoning behind this decision,
-see @xref{GH deprecation}. The GH interface will continue to be
-supported for the 1.6.x and 1.8.x release series, but will be dropped
-thereafter, so developers are encouraged to switch progressively to the
-scm interface. The last chapter in this part of the manual (@pxref{GH})
-documents both how to use GH and how to switch from GH to scm.
-
-The documentation of the scm interface is currently a bit confused, but
-the situation should improve rapidly once the 1.6.0 release is out. The
-plan is to refocus the bulk of Part II, currently ``Guile Scheme'', as
-the ``Guile API Reference'' so that it covers both Scheme and C
-interfaces. (This makes sense because almost all of Guile's primitive
-procedures on the Scheme level --- e.g. @code{memq} --- are also
-available as C level primitives in the scm interface ---
-e.g. @code{scm_memq}.) There will then remain a certain amount of
-Scheme-specific (such as the ``Basic Ideas'' chapter) and C-specific
-documentation (such as SMOB usage and interaction with the garbage
-collector) to collect into corresponding chapters.
