Ahh, that's why -- in gc-card.c, we have to call mpz_clear
(SCM_I_BIG_MPZ (x)).  I'd put the direct call in there just for
efficiency, and I also used direct manipulations in a few other places
(dealing with the ipv6 addresses and random number generation I
think).

So would you prefer: SCM_CELL_ADDR_1, putting the scm_t_big_mpz in
numbers.h, or just adding functions to the scm_i_big interface for any
non-numbers.c usages of bignums, even libguile internal ones.  The
latter would of course have more overhead, but it might not be
enough to be significant.
