Thanks for the suggestion.  I like the idea, but the constants are
also declared in eval.h like this:

SCM_API const char scm_s_expression[];

So it seems to me like they are part of the API.  (However, if it ever
becomes feasable to internationalize Guile to provide error messages
in the native language of the user, this aspect of the API would most
likely have to be changed anyway in one way or another.)

Any opinions?

If I have a working and complete patch and you say that you like it,
I'll have to contact assign@gnu.org, right?

Cheers,
