The high level interface does not provide this functionality (I don't
know if there is a reason, or if it was forgotten), but as a
workaround, you can use

SCM scm_read (SCM port)

Of course you would have to create an input port for passing to the
function.  This can be accomplished by calling

SCM scm_open_file (SCM filename, SCM modes)

with proper arguments, e.g:

Example ==============================================================

  SCM port, expr;

  port = scm_open_file (gh_str02scm ("config.scm"), gh_str02scm ("r"));
  expr = scm_read (port);
  scm_close_port (port);
  gh_write (expr);

End Example ==========================================================
