  /* 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).

   *   free:    the function called when an object of this type is about to be garbage collected
   *   equal:   compare two objects of this type; (equal? obj1 obj2)
   *   gc_mark: called during the GC mark pass -- you should call s7_mark_object
   *            on any embedded s7_pointer associated with the object.
   *   apply:   a function that is called whenever an object of this type
   *            occurs in the function position (at the car of a list; the rest of the list
   *            is passed to the apply function as the arguments).
   *   set:     a function that is called whenever an object of this type occurs as
   *            the target of a generalized set!
   *   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...
   *
   * s7_is_c_object returns true if 'p' holds a value of a type created by s7_new_type.
   * s7_c_object_type returns the c_object's type
   * 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_c_object marks any Scheme c_object as in-use (use this in the gc_mark function to mark
   *    any embedded s7_pointer variables).

/* It is possible to tell s7 to call a foreign function directly, without any scheme-related

 *   s7_d_dd_t function (the first letter gives the return type, the rest give successive argument types).

 *   s7 calls the s7_d_dd_t function directly without consing a list of arguments, and without
