Hey all, I found a couple of gaps on the documentation at
https://www.gnu.org/software/guile/manual/html_node/index.html

1. The Keyword Syntax page (6.16.1.5) seems to be empty
https://www.gnu.org/software/guile/manual/html_node/Keyword-Syntax.html

2. Load paths (6.16.8) mentions scm_primitive_load_path, but doesn't
mention scm_c_primitive_load_path. Is there a preference towards using the
SCM functions? Or was there some convention earlier in the manual (that I
must have missed) that indicates methods come in scm_ and scm_c_ variants?
https://www.gnu.org/software/guile/manual/html_node/Load-Paths.html

I'd be down to contribute, just not sure if it was an intentional decision
or not.
