FWIW, looking at Andy's C functions that call eval-string, they
seem simple enough. But I never would have come up with that on my own.
When I'm doing C, I tend to focus on C API.
I'm agnostic on whether there should be a new C function for this,
but, if there isn't, the code from
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guile-devel/2011-03/msg00091.html
should make its way into the manual as a reminder that you can do
better than scm_c_eval_string.
Thanks,
Mike
