 for."

-=== In release 1.6.0:
-
-- Make sure that the deprecation mechanism explained in INSTALL and
-  README is completed and works.
-
-=== In release 1.8.0:
-
-- remove deprecated "scm_*_t" type names in libguile.h.
-
-- remove re-exporting behaviour of `export'.
-    in boot-9.scm, remove begin-deprecated part of `module-export!' 
-    in format.scm, remove kluge at top
-    in srfi13.scm, likewise
-
-- remove deprecated subr and gsubr functions
-    in procs.h, procs.c: scm_make_subr, scm_make_subr_opt,

-  Also remove `variable-set-name-hint' completely.
-
-- remove compatability module (ice-9 and-let*).  It
-  has been replaced by (ice-9 and-let-star) and/or (srfi srfi-2).
-
-- remove support for autoloading compiled-code modules:
-    try-module-linked
-    try-module-dynamic-link
-    init-dynamic-module, etc.
-    scm_register_module_xxx
-    scm_registered_modules
-    scm_clear_registered_modules
-
-- remove deprecated variables:
-    scm_top_level_lookup_closure_var

-      flags

-  SCM_INT_SIGNAL, SCM_FPE_SIGNAL, SCM_BUS_SIGNAL, SCM_SEGV_SIGNAL,

-- remove scm_vector_set_length_x
-- remove function scm_call_catching_errors
-  (replaced by catch functions from throw.[ch])
-- remove support for "#&" reader syntax in (ice-9 optargs).
-- remove scm_make_shared_substring
-- remove scm_read_only_string_p
-- remove scm_strhash
-- remove scm_tc7_ssymbol
-- remove scm_tc7_msymbol
-- remove scm_tcs_symbols
-- remove scm_sloppy_memq, scm_sloppy_memv, scm_sloppy_member
-- consider removing the automatic loading of (ice-9 rdelim) when guile
-  starts up.  This would be a brave move, since a lot of code will
-  assume that read-line is available by default.  However it would make
-  it easier to use alternative implementations of this module, e.g., a
-  strictly scsh-compatible version which uses multiple values.  For
-  interactive use it would be easy to load the module in ~/.guile.

-  scm_unprotect_object, scm_create_hook.
-
-Modules sort.c and random.c should be factored out into separate
-modules (but still be distributed with guile-core) when we get a new
-module system.
