Presuming that the "final word" on the purpose of the GH interface is
to be a cross Scheme (at least) API[1], then I agree.

This may be quite good from another perspective -- documenting (at
least parts of) the scm_ interface will finally be a reasonably high
priority.

gather some concensus for a change this substantial.
