These symbols are usually bound when ice-9 gets booted. This is not done
by gh_enter. Same is true for defmacro, use-modules a.m.o.
One may load ice-9/boot-9.scm by hand, but this is only consistant if it
is clear that the interactive guile read-evaluation loop as provided by
Blandy is not used (gh_repl), otherwise the stack would break down.
