If you're going to produce many instances of some data structure
containg scheme objects you should use smob's.

See the the section "Defining Smobs" in the manual to SCM:
http://www-swiss.ai.mit.edu/~jaffer/SCM.html, but append `scm_' to
function and type names (and check their definition in the Guile
source as a safe-guard!).
