Hmm.  Also, I thought I'd seen docs that more suggested that you
should use scm_must_malloc whenever you *really* needed memory, and if
you didn't get it the app was hosed.  I don't recall seeing the added
caveat above that it should only be used for memory that the caller's
not going to free.  But I may be mistaken.  In any case, if I come
across those docs again, I'll update them.
