OK, so this isn't the same as SCM_DEBUG_CELL_ACCESSES...

If you happen to know, what's the relationship between
--enable-guile-debug and SCM_DEBUG?  Is there any, and would it be
appropriate to have an --enable flag for this?  I'd be happy to
specify using the flag in RELEASE as part of the testing process,
though I'd have to specify testing both with and without it since most
people won't want SCM_DEBUG for normal compiles.

Thanks
