protected_objects is now protected from garbage collection using
scm_gc_register_root instead of scm_permanent_object.
(get_option_setting): New static function that computes an option
setting as it was formerly done in the function scm_options.
(get_documented_option_setting): New static function that
returns option documentation as it was formerly done in the
function scm_options. Note that documentation C strings are no
longer precomputed into SCM objects. Instead, they are converted
into SCM strings every time get_documented_option_setting is
called.
(change_option_setting): New static functions that modifies the
option setting as it was formerly done in the function
scm_options. The function is now exception safe, i. e. won't
cause a memory leak when interrupted. Further, only non-immediate
option values are added to the protection list.
(scm_options): This function now has only the purpose to dispatch
to to get_option_setting, get_documented_option_setting or
change_option_setting, depending on the arguments given to
scm_options.
(scm_init_opts): Don't convert documentation C strings into SCM
strings. Further, don't protect any object values: They _must_
be immediate values, otherwise there is no guarantee that they
have not been collected before anyway.
* options.[ch] (scm_t_option): Made type unsigned, name into a
constant char* and val into a scm_t_bits type.
(scm_options, scm_init_opts): The number of options is guaranteed
to be larger or equal to zero. Thus, the type is changed to
unsigned.

eliminating some warnings.
* unif.c, strports.c, print.c, options.c: Fix some warnings on
mis-use of SCM/long
* gc.c, gc.h: Added scm_return_first_int(), and added comment re:
what the scm_return_first* functions do.
name for a Scheme object (now a void*), and SCM as 32 bit word for
storing tags and immediates (now a long int). Introduced
SCM_ASWORD and SCM_ASSCM for conversion. Fixed various dubious
code in the process: arbiter.c (use macros), unif.c (scm_array_p),
removals from Dirk Hermann.
* alist.c: Rename formals to match the parameter names in the
documentation, updates to documentation. Thanks Dirk Hermann!
* scm_validate.h: Added SCM_VALIDATE_THREAD.
* *.c: Remove SCM_NIMP(X) when it is an extraneous pre-test given
that SCM_FOOP macros all now include SCM_NIMP in their expansion.
This simplifies lots of code, making it far more readable.
prototypes.
* eval.c: Make scm_m_mody's 3rd argument be a const char *, not a
char *. ANSI prototypes caught this.
* strorder.c: Use GUILE_PROC1 for the couple SCM_PROC1 expansions
that I missed.

expand macros if SCM_DOCSTRING_SNARF.

SCM_CAUTIOUS; this way, 1) there's only one version of each flag
to define (we used to have both RECKLESS and SCM_RECKLESS), and 2)
if we want to use them in a header file some day, we can. (Thanks
to Michael Livshin.)

Also, change name of copyright holder on some from Mikael

assigning the changes to the FSF.
old scm_sysintern but doesn't take a second value argument.
(scm_sysintern): Now uses scm_sysintern0.
(scm_sysintern_no_module_lookup): Renamed to
scm_sysintern0_no_module_lookup and doesn't take a second value
argument any longer.
* symbols.h (scm_sysintern0: Added declaration.
* options.c (scm_init_opts): Use scm_sysintern0 instead of
scm_sysintern when interning option keys. Otherwise we risk
destroying the values of already interned variables.
* symbols.c (scm_sym2vcell): Bugfix: Treat definedp as
scheme-level boolean (use SCM_NFALSEP).
* backtrace.c (scm_init_backtrace): Make Scheme-level variable
`the-last-stack'.
(scm_backtrace): New function. (C version of old function from
boot-9.scm) Motivation: Make it possible to display backtraces
without depending on boot-9.scm. (I'm uncertain if this
motivation is good enough...)
* root.h (scm_root_state): Add member the_last_stack_var.
(scm_the_stack_var): Defined to scm_root->the_last_stack_var.
* root.c (mark_root): Mark scm_the_last_stack_var.
* init.c (scm_start_stack): Initialize scm_the_last_stack_var to
SCM_BOOL_F.
(Mostly prefixing with SCM_.) Renamed "debug-options" -->
"debug-options-interface". See commentary in options.c.
* options.h, options.c: Options now have documentation strings.
Also added a long explanatory commentary.
