[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Hi. I am trying to run some examples for guile GUI toolkits, and they have
use-typelibs in their code. It is failing for me, so I wanted to learn more
about the procedure - but the Procedures Index has no entry for it. I would
expect there would be an entry even if the procedure itself is deprecated.

If I can assist in resolving this issue, I'm happy to help.

There is no function called use-typelibs in Guile. It must come from 
somewhere else. Probably guile-gi, as far as I can see from 
https://spk121.github.io/guile-gi/Parsing-Typelibs-and-Creating-Bindings.html?

Thank you! I will learn more about where to locate procedure definitions.
