Hmm, then I'll have to ask...

A C++ class contains a script string, and when it is going to be run I
want to create an environment where "this" is a smob for the current
class, and then evaluate the script in that environment.

I figured I would define "this" to the smob in a leaf environment, and
use that as the local part when creating an eval environment (haven't
figured out what to use as the import env yet - maybe the one returned
by scm_interaction_environment()?), and feed that env to the eval function.

If this doesn't work, what is the recommended method for doing what I'm
trying to do?  A static/global this-binding isn't an option - it must be
local to the evaluation.
