Right, but inline.h deals with that; if "inline" isn't supported you  
just get a declaration and make a function call.  There would be a  
performance hit from doing the function calls all the time, but I  
think it would work.  In fact, there are cases where the argument to  
SCM_MAKE_CHAR is a function invocation, where it might be beneficial  
for performance to not compute the value twice.
