+;;; This file defines GDB extensions to pretty-print 'SCM' objects, and
+;;; to walk Guile's virtual machine stack.
+;;;
+;;; This file is installed under a name that follows the convention that
+;;; allows GDB to auto-load it anytime the user is debugging libguile
+;;; (info "(gdb) objfile-gdbdotext file").
