I buy this.

I agree with Clark that 1. we can have different naming schemes for
different classes of names (functions, macros etc), and 2. that the
naming inside each class should be as consistent as possible.

However, consistency says that if setting a vector element is

  SCM_SET_VECTOR

then referencing it is

  SCM_VECTOR

This may not be the greatest choice of names...
