  OK - you are right.... :)


  But there is still small issue. Eventhough in guile 1.3.5 SCM_STRINGP would be
  defined as

#define SCM_STRINGP(X)   (SCM_NIMP(X) && SCM_STRINGP_PRIOR_TO_1_3_5(X))

  than this code
 

  if (SCM_STRINGP (X))
    ...


  will SIGSEGV on guile prior to 1.3.5 -=> so for compatibility reasons everyone
  has to write:

  if (SCM_NIMP (X) && SCM_STRINGP(X))
    ...
