are we *really* afraid of that POSIX rule?
I mean, what is the likelyhood of standard POSIX types having *both*
the prefix `scm_' and suffix '_t'?
are there going to be new revisions of the POSIX spec with significant
added functionality?
I'm not very afraid of it, in short.
[ I'm not exactly in love with the '_t' convention, either, for that
matter. but uniformity is good. ]
