What do you think about documented additional function like this?

SCM
scm_c_fdopen(int fdes, const char* modes)
{
 return scm_i_fdes_to_port (fdes, scm_mode_bits (modes), SCM_BOOL_F);
}

You can also use in libguile source files scm_i_fdes_to_port  instead
of scm_i_fdes_to_port, and mark scm_fdes_to_port as a deprecated.
