54 responsibility to set the mark bit on the smob or port, but now the
55 generic marking routine in gc.c takes care of that, and a zero
56 pointer for a mark function means "don't bother". So you never
57 need scm_mark0.

59 However, we leave it here because it's harmless to call it, and
60 people out there have smob code that uses it, and there's no reason
