ANNOUNCEMENT: ILISP 5.11 for advanced Emacs--Guile interaction

[Matthias Koeppe]

This is to announce availabilty of ILISP 5.11, an Emacs package for
advanced interaction of Emacs with an inferior Lisp system, such as
Guile. 

Guile Scheme support has improved significantly since version 5.10.
Here are the key features:

 * The Guile module system is supported.  That is, when you eval
   changed defines, they end up in the right module.

 * ILISP can complete symbols; only the symbols visible in the module
   of the edited file are taken into consideration.  

 * ILISP can retrieve procedure documentation (this requires Guile 1.4
   or later); use `documentation-lisp'.

 * ILISP can retrieve procedure arglists (even for primitive
   procedures by parsing the documentation); use `arglist-lisp'. Use
   `arglist-lisp' with a prefix argument to insert the arglist into
   the editor buffer.  There is also a magic arglist facility that
   shows the arglist of the current function symbol automagically.

 * ILISP can find the definition and the callers of a procedure by
   various means; use `edit-definitions-lisp' and `edit-callers-lisp'.

 * Electric brackets: ] closes all open parens (if configured).

The official announcement is included below.  Also included is an
excerpt from my .emacs that I found useful when working with ILISP,
but YMMV.
