I feel that it should be deprecated.  There are much more types than
"const long", and I wouldn't want to cover them all.  So, for negative
completeness, I'd say CONST_LONG should go as well.  It is easy enough
to use SCM_VARIABLE_INIT directly instead.

Using SCM_VARIABLE_INIT is actually a bug.  It should use the
deprecated SCM_VCELL_INIT.  Fixed.
