About which I don't have much comment. He then wrote:

I wanted to clarify that this is a private mailing list, and is likely
to remain so.  However, documentation of the API is available at

	http://www.skeeve.com/api-chapter.pdf

And of course, the texinfo source as well as all the code are available
in the gawk git repo on savannah, in the 'master' branch.

The above PDF has the full chapter (about 50 pages) explaining the API
and how to use it, including examples, and about 5 pages from an appendix
discussing the design decisions.

The API is intended for interfacing with awk programs, and not as a general
mechanism for any and all scripting languages.  Nonetheless, if it's useful
for the guile developers to see, that's great, and if anyone has comments
about it, they may be sent to bug-gawk@gnu.org.

Thanks,

Arnold
