I believe there was a discussion about this a while back, and although
I'm fine with the idea of private headers (in fact, I tend to think
that from the end-user's perspective they may be a bit cleaner), that
wasn't the consensus.  People preferred the scm_i_ approach.

So while in general I'm not conceptually opposed to private headers
instead of the scm_i_ prefix, I think whatever we do we should do it
consistently.
