If I understand you correctly, you also have already changed scm_makstr
and scm_makfromstr to not have any slot parameter at all? Or is this
specific change yet to be done? The code in scm_makstr and scm_makfromstr
does still work if no slots are used any more: In this case the functions
are always called with a slot number of 0 which results in just an
ordinary string being produced, but I'd like to remove that overhead
throughout guile (except you already did it).
