 * If within a function you need to protect one or more scheme objects from

 * anything, but since the compiler does not know that they are actually
 * no-ops, it will generate code that calls these functions with the given
 * parameters.  Therefore, you can be sure that the compiler will keep those
 * scheme values alive (on the stack or in a register) up to the point where
 * scm_remember_upto_here* is called.  In other words, place the call to
 * scm_remember_upto_here* _behind_ the last code in your function, that
 * depends on the scheme object to exist.
 *
 * Example: We want to make sure that the string object str does not get
 * garbage collected during the execution of 'some_function' in the code
 * below, because otherwise the characters belonging to str would be freed and
 * 'some_function' might access freed memory.  To make sure that the compiler
 * keeps str alive on the stack or in a register such that it is visible to
 * the conservative gc we add the call to scm_remember_upto_here_1 _after_ the
 * call to 'some_function'.  Note that this would not be necessary if str was
 * used anyway after the call to 'some_function'.

   * accesses.  We don't want the scheme level after-gc-hook to be performed
   * for each of these garbage collections for the following reason: The
   * execution of the after-gc-hook causes cell accesses itself.  Thus, if the
   * after-gc-hook was performed with every gc, and if the gc was performed
   * after a very small number of cell accesses, then the number of cell
   * accesses during the execution of the after-gc-hook will suffice to cause
   * the execution of the next gc.  Then, guile would keep executing the
   * after-gc-hook over and over again, and would never come to do other
   * things.
   *
   * To overcome this problem, if cell access debugging with additional
   * garbage collections is enabled, the after-gc-hook is never run by the
   * garbage collecter.  When running guile with cell access debugging and the
   * execution of the after-gc-hook is desired, then it is necessary to run
   * the hook explicitly from the user code.  This has the effect, that from
   * the scheme level point of view it seems that garbage collection is
   * performed with a much lower frequency than it actually is.  Obviously,
   * this will not work for code that depends on a fixed one to one
   * relationship between the execution counts of the C level garbage
   * collection hooks and the execution count of the scheme level
   * after-gc-hook.
