That's probably the easiest thing, though given the fact that we can't
just skip the initialization, for now it's probably best to just leave
any optimizations for later since there will probably also be times
where we'll want to

   SCM z = scm_double_cell (bignum_tag, 0, 0, 0);
   mpz_init_set (SCM_CELL_ADDR_1 (z), SCM_I_BIG_MPZ (x));

or

   mpz_init_set_si (SCM_CELL_ADDR_1 (z), x);

etc.
