  /* s7_make_function creates a Scheme function object from the s7_function 'fnc'.
   *   Its name (for s7_describe_object) is 'name', it requires 'required_args' arguments,
   *   can accept 'optional_args' other arguments, and if 'rest_arg' is true, it accepts
   *   a "rest" argument (a list of all the trailing arguments).  The function's documentation
   *   is 'doc'.  The s7_make_functions return the new function, but the s7_define_function (and macro)
   *   procedures return the name as a symbol (a desire for backwards compatibility brought about this split).
   *
   * s7_define_function is the same as s7_make_function, but it also adds 'name' (as a symbol) to the
   *   global (top-level) environment, with the function as its value (and returns the symbol, not the function).
   *   For example, the Scheme function 'car' is essentially:
   *
   *     s7_pointer g_car(s7_scheme *sc, s7_pointer args) {return(s7_car(s7_car(args)));}
   *
   *   then bound to the name "car":
   *
   *     s7_define_function(sc, "car", g_car, 1, 0, false, "(car obj)");
   *                                          ^ one required arg, no optional arg, no "rest" arg
   *
   * s7_is_function returns true if its argument is a function defined in this manner.
   * s7_apply_function applies the function (the result of s7_make_function) to the arguments.
   *
   * s7_define_macro defines a Scheme macro; its arguments are not evaluated (unlike a function),
   *   but the macro's returned value (assumed to be some sort of Scheme expression) is evaluated.
   *   s7_define_macro returns the name as a symbol.
   *
   * Use the "unsafe" definer if the function might call the evaluator itself in some way (s7_apply_function for example),
   *   or messes with s7's stack (s7_values), or clobbers the argument list.
   */

  /* In s7, (define* (name . args) body) or (define name (lambda* args body))
   *   define a function that takes optional (keyword) named arguments.
   *   The "args" is a list that can contain either names (normal arguments),
   *   or lists of the form (name default-value), in any order.  When called,
   *   the names are bound to their default values (or #f), then the function's
   *   current arglist is scanned.  Any name that occurs as a keyword (":name")
   *   precedes that argument's new value.  Otherwise, as values occur, they
   *   are plugged into the environment based on their position in the arglist
   *   (as normal for a function).  So,
   *
   *   (define* (hi a (b 32) (c "hi")) (list a b c))
   *     (hi 1) -> '(1 32 "hi")
   *     (hi :b 2 :a 3) -> '(3 2 "hi")
   *     (hi 3 2 1) -> '(3 2 1)
   *
   *   :rest causes its argument to be bound to the rest of the arguments at that point.
   *
   * The C connection to this takes the function name, the C function to call, the argument
   *   list as written in Scheme, and the documentation string.  s7 makes sure the arguments
   *   are ordered correctly and have the specified defaults before calling the C function.
   *     s7_define_function_star(sc, "a-func", a_func, "arg1 (arg2 32)", "an example of C define*");
   *   Now (a-func :arg1 2) calls the C function a_func(2, 32). See the example program in s7.html.
   *
   * In s7 Scheme, define* can be used just for its optional arguments feature, but that is
   *   included in s7_define_function.  s7_define_function_star implements keyword arguments
   *   for C-level functions (as well as optional/rest arguments).

   *                  on any embedded s7_pointer associated with the object (including its "let") to protect if from the GC.
   *   gc_mark and gc_free are new forms of mark and free, taking the c_object s7_pointer rather than its void* value
   *   equal:         compare two objects of this type; (equal? obj1 obj2) -- this is the old form
   *   is_equal:      compare objects as in equal? -- this is the new form of equal?
   *   is_equivalent: compare objects as in equivalent?

   *                  occurs in the function position (at the car of a list; the rest of the list
   *                  is passed to the ref function as the arguments: (obj ...))
   *   set:           a function that is called whenever an object of this type occurs as
   *                  the target of a generalized set! (set! (obj ...) val)
   *   length:        the function called when the object is asked what its length is.
   *   copy:          the function called when a copy of the object is needed.
   *   fill:          the function called to fill the object with some value.
   *   reverse:       similarly...
   *   to_string:     object->string for an object of this type
   *   getter/setter: these help the optimizer handle applicable c-objects (see s7test.scm for an example)
   *
   * s7_is_c_object returns true if 'p' is a c_object
   * s7_c_object_type returns the c_object's type (the s7_int passed to s7_make_c_object)
   * s7_c_object_value returns the value bound to that c_object (the void *value of s7_make_c_object)
   * s7_make_c_object creates a new Scheme entity of the given type with the given (uninterpreted) value
   * s7_mark marks any Scheme c_object as in-use (use this in the mark function to mark
