 2 Introduction
 **************
 
 "Guile" (which can stand for _GNU Ubiquitous Intelligent Language
 Extension_) is the GNU extension language.  It started out as an
 embeddable Scheme interpreter, and has rapidly evolved into a
 kitchen-sink package including a standalone Scheme interpreter, an
 embeddable Scheme interpreter, several graphics options, other languages
 that can be used along with Scheme (for now just _ctax_ and _Tcl_), and
 hooks for much more.
