A macro cannot hide the problem. You cannot set it back to int without
breaking everyone who adapted to size_t. The best choice is to just
say, "Oops. Sorry. Either reject Guile 1.4 or use this configury macro
to specify the type passed to gh_scm2newstr()." Or, alternatively,
always pass NULL as the second argument. Don't go back, though. Thanks!
