Done! However, there's something that should be noted here: The name
scm_cell was used for Guile's basic cell datatype. According to our new
naming scheme for data types, this should already have been renamed to
scm_t_cell, but it was forgotten at that time. Maybe it would be a good
idea to rename it in the stable branch and deprecate the old name
there, before the release is made? (I don't know whether such a change is
still OK for the stable branch.)
