I'm not sure what you mean by a new scope in C code.  C code must
always obey C's rules, of course.

Perhaps you mean that the C code has some Scheme code that it wants to
eval, but that it doesn't want it to make any lasting bindings.

Then I guess you could do something like

  scm_eval_string (scm_string_append (scm_list_3
     (scm_from_locale_string ("(let () "),
      scm_from_locale_string (code_to_eval),
      scm_from_locale_string (")"))));

Does that help at all?
