All looks fine to me, except one thing. I don't think we gain anything by
exporting the struct-equal?/scm_struct_equalp API, so I'd prefer to
have this as an internal (scm_i_) function and not exported to
Scheme. (Cf. the fact that there isn't any list-equal? in Scheme.)
As you say, docs would be good, and also a NEWS entry.
