Speaking of SCM_STRING_LENGTH, things like that which have been macros
in the past should remain as macros, not functions, even if all it
does is a function call.

Changing from macro to function for instance broke guile-gtk.  It was
#ifdef testing for SCM_STRING_LENGTH to know to use that (in 1.6), as
opposed to SCM_LENGTH (in whatever dim dark past).
