The problem with private headers is, that sometimes you like to introduce
some macros / function references which themselves are not part of the
API, but which you need to implement some macros (or - in the not too far
future - inline functions) that are part of the API.  This, however, means
that these have to be part of the public headers.  This is one of the
reasons we decided for the scm_i_ and SCM_I_ prefixes.

Best regards,
Dirk
