The prefix scm_c_xxx means C version of an existing Scheme primitive
scm_xxx.  (It has been suggested that scm_c_ be used for everything
which is not a Scheme primitive.)

If I remember correctly, I considered the name "scm_define_hook", but
dropped it because scm_create_hook is meant to abstract more than
creating and defining a hook.  It's intended to abstract the creation
of a vanilla application hook, which also includes GC protecting it.
