Still reading the text displayed by (help) I find, among others, this
excerpt

Other useful sources of helpful information:

(apropos STRING)
(arity PROCEDURE)
(name PROCEDURE-OR-MACRO)
(source PROCEDURE-OR-MACRO)

If I try

(name car)

I get

scheme@(guile-user)> (name car)
;;; <stdin>:255:0: warning: possibly unbound variable `name'
ice-9/boot-9.scm:1669:16: In procedure raise-exception:
Unbound variable: name

Entering a new prompt.  Type `,bt' for a backtrace or `,q' to continue.
scheme@(guile-user) [1]>


but if I try with "source" and "arity" they do work

scheme@(guile-user)> (source car)
$5 = #f
scheme@(guile-user)> (arity car)
1 argument.
scheme@(guile-user)>


so is name no longer supported and the help text wasn't updated ?

Or am I doing anything wrong ?

Thanks
