Apparently this is going to be rare.  I’ve found no occurrences here:

  
http://www.google.fr/codesearch?q=SCM_%28GLOBAL_%29%3FSYMBOL&hl=fr&btnG=Rechercher+du+code

“grep -r -E \
  'SCM_(GLOBAL_)?SYMBOL[[:blank:]]*\([^,]+,[[:blank:]]*[^"]+\)' \
  gnucash-2.2.9 guile-avahi guile-cairo-1.4.0 \
  guile-gnome-platform-2.16.1 gnutls mailutils-2.1 snd-9.4”
doesn’t show any occurrence either.

So I’d be tempted to merge this in.

What do you think?
