 18.2 How Guile does it
 ======================
 
 Here we present the specifics of how Guile represents its data.  We
 don't go into complete detail; an exhaustive description of Guile's
 system would be boring, and we do not wish to encourage people to write
 code which depends on its details anyway.  We do, however, present
 everything one need know to use Guile's data.
