Hm. But this is *really' why I asked. I want to know if you are pleased
with the proposal or not, and if not, tell me why and how to do it
correctly:
So my actual questions are:
* Do you like the names of the functions? Maybe they should be named
scm_c_*() instead of scm_*().
* Do they make sense?
* Should we provide something like scm_c_free() for pointers returned by
these kind of functions?
Thanks in advance,
