* Overview

  Geiser is a generic Emacs/Scheme interaction mode, featuring an
  enhanced REPL and a set of minor modes improving Emacs' basic scheme
  major mode. The main functionalities provided are:

    - Evaluation of forms in the namespace of the current module.
    - Macro expansion.
    - File/module loading.
    - Namespace-aware identifier completion (including local bindings,
      names visible in the current module, and module names).
    - Autodoc: the echo area shows information about the signature of
      the procedure/macro around point automatically.
    - Jump to definition of identifier at point.
    - Access to documentation (including docstrings when the
      implementation provides it).
    - Listings of identifiers exported by a given module.
    - Listings of callers/callees of procedures.
    - Rudimentary support for debugging (list of
      evaluation/compilation error in an Emacs' compilation-mode
      buffer).

   NOTE: if you're not in a hurry, Geiser's website
   (http://www.nongnu.org/geiser/) contains a nicer manual, also
   included in Geiser tarballs as a texinfo file (doc/geiser.info).

* Requirements

    Geiser needs Emacs 23.2 or better, and at least one of the
    supported scheme implementations:
      - Guile 2.0 or better.
      - PLT Racket 5.0.1 or better.

* Installation
  Geiser can be used either directly from its uninstalled source tree
  or byte-compiled and installed after perfoming the standard
  configure/make/make install dance.

*** In place
    - Extract the tarball or clone the git repository anywhere in your
      file system. Let's call that place <path-to-geiser>.
    - In your .emacs:

      (load-file "<path-to-geiser>/elisp/geiser.el")

*** Byte-compiled
    - Create a build directory, `build', say:
      $ cd <path-to-geiser>
      $ mkdir build; cd build
    - Configure and make:
      $ ../configure && make

    Now, you can use the byte-compiled Geiser in place by adding to
    your .emacs:

    (load "<path-to-geiser>/build/elisp/geiser-load")

    or, alternatively, install it with:

    $ make install

    (you might need to get root access, depending on your installation
    directory) and, instead of the above load forms, require
    'geiser-install (not 'geiser, mind you) in your emacs
    initialization file:

    (require 'geiser-install)

    You're ready to go!

* Basic configuration
  The loading invocations above install all supported Scheme
  implementations. You can list explicitly the ones that you want by
  setting the variable `geiser-impl-installed-implementations' *before*
  loading geiser.el. For instance:

  (setq geiser-impl-installed-implementations '(racket guile))

   On opening a scheme file, Geiser will try to guess its Scheme,
   defaulting to the first in the list. Use `C-c C-s' to select the
   implementation by hand (on a per file basis).

  Check the geiser customization group for some options with:

      M-x customize-group RET geiser RET

  In particular, customize `geiser-<impl>-binary', which should point
  to an executable in your path.

  To start a REPL, M-x geiser.

*** Completion with company-mode
    Geiser offers identifier and module name completion, bound to
    M-TAB and M-` respectively. Only names visible in the current
    module are offered.

    While that is cool and all, things are even better: if you have
    company-mode (http://nschum.de/src/emacs/company-mode/) installed,
    Geiser's completion will use it. Just require company-mode and,
    from then on, any new scheme buffer or REPL will use it. If you
    didn't know about Nikolaj Schumacher's awesome mode, check this
