/* {Run-time options}
*
* This is the basic interface for low-level configuration of the
* Guile library. It is used for configuring the reader, evaluator,
* printer and debugger.
*
* Motivation:
*
* 1. Altering option settings can have side effects.
* 2. Option values can be stored in native format.
* (Important for efficiency in, e. g., the evaluator.)
* 3. Doesn't use up name space.
* 4. Options can be naturally grouped => ease of use.

/* scm_options is the core of all options interface procedures.
*
* Some definitions:
*
* Run time options in Guile are arranged in groups. Each group
* affects a certain aspect of the behavior of the library.
*
* An "options interface procedure" manages one group of options. It
* can be used to check or set options, or to get documentation for
* all options of a group. The options interface procedure is not
* intended to be called directly by the user. The user should
* instead call
*
* (-options)
* (-options 'help)
* (-options 'full)
*
* to display current option settings (The second version also
* displays documentation. The third version also displays
* information about programmer's options.), and
*
* (-enable ')
* (-disable ')
* (-set! )
