+@deffn {Scheme Procedure} gentemp [prefix [obarray]]
+@deffnx {C Function} scm_gentemp (prefix, obarray)
+Create a new symbol with a name unique in an obarray.
+The name is constructed from an optional string @var{prefix}
+and a counter value. The default prefix is @code{t}. The
+@var{obarray} is specified as a second optional argument.
+Default is the system obarray where all normal symbols are
+interned. The counter is increased by 1 at each
+call. There is no provision for resetting the counter.
+@end deffn
+
+@deffn {Scheme Procedure} symbol-set! o s v
+@deffnx {C Function} scm_symbol_set_x (o, s, v)
+Find the symbol in @var{obarray} whose name is @var{string}, and rebind
+it to @var{value}. An error is signalled if @var{string} is not present
+in @var{obarray}.
+@end deffn
+
+@deffn {Scheme Procedure} symbol-bound? o s
+@deffnx {C Function} scm_symbol_bound_p (o, s)
+Return @code{#t} if @var{obarray} contains a symbol with name
+@var{string} bound to a defined value. This differs from
+@var{symbol-interned?} in that the mere mention of a symbol
+usually causes it to be interned; @code{symbol-bound?}
+determines whether a symbol has been given any meaningful
+value.
+@end deffn
+
+@deffn {Scheme Procedure} symbol-binding o s
+@deffnx {C Function} scm_symbol_binding (o, s)
+Look up in @var{obarray} the symbol whose name is @var{string}, and
+return the value to which it is bound. If @var{obarray} is @code{#f},
+use the global symbol table. If @var{string} is not interned in
+@var{obarray}, an error is signalled.
+@end deffn
+
+@deffn {Scheme Procedure} unintern-symbol o s
+@deffnx {C Function} scm_unintern_symbol (o, s)
+Remove the symbol with name @var{string} from @var{obarray}. This

+otherwise.
+@end deffn
+
+@deffn {Scheme Procedure} intern-symbol o s
+@deffnx {C Function} scm_intern_symbol (o, s)
+Add a new symbol to @var{obarray} with name @var{string}, bound to an
+unspecified initial value. The symbol table is not modified if a symbol
+with this name is already present.
+@end deffn
+
+@deffn {Scheme Procedure} string->obarray-symbol o s [softp]
+@deffnx {C Function} scm_string_to_obarray_symbol (o, s, softp)
+Intern a new symbol in @var{obarray}, a symbol table, with name
+@var{string}.
+
+If @var{obarray} is @code{#f}, use the default system symbol table. If
+@var{obarray} is @code{#t}, the symbol should not be interned in any
+symbol table; merely return the pair (@var{symbol}
+. @var{#<undefined>}).
+
+The @var{soft?} argument determines whether new symbol table entries
+should be created when the specified symbol is not already present in
+@var{obarray}. If @var{soft?} is specified and is a true value, then
+new entries should not be added for symbols not already present in the
+table; instead, simply return @code{#f}.

+@deffn {Scheme Procedure} read-and-eval! [port]
+@deffnx {C Function} scm_read_and_eval_x (port)
+Read a form from @var{port} (standard input by default), and evaluate it

+is left to be read from @var{port}, an @code{end-of-file} error is

+[DEPRECATED] Close all open file ports used by the interpreter

+Return a list of the object code modules that have been imported into

+@deffnx {C Function} scm_make_u8vector (len, fill)
+Return a newly allocated uniform numeric vector which can

+@deffn {Scheme Procedure} string-any-c-code char_pred s [start [end]]
+@deffnx {C Function} scm_string_any (char_pred, s, start, end)
+Check if the predicate @var{pred} is true for any character in

+
+Calls to @var{pred} are made from left to right across @var{s}.
+When it returns true (ie.@: non-@code{#f}), that return value
+is the return from @code{string-any}.
+
+The SRFI-13 specification requires that the call to @var{pred}
+on the last character of @var{s} (assuming that point is
+reached) be a tail call, but currently in Guile this is not the

+
+Calls to @var{pred} are made from left to right across @var{s}.
+If the predicate is true for every character then the return
