Obviously, it doesn't.  (Hmm... it takes time to be in a hurry...)

The corresponding flag would be:

  SCM_ARRAYF_CONTIGUOUS

which is short and nice.  It's still along the lines of specifying in
the second position the type of object which the name refers to
similarly to scm_c_ & co.

BTW, note that flag names occur in logical expressions.  They have an
even greater need of being short than for example names of functions.
