(1) In this case, should I simplify my change by: - eliminating scm_lreadparen (as it is now) - renaming scm_lreadparen1 to scm_lreadparen - making scm_lreadparen static? (2) In general, how do users know what in the C API we are trying to preserve? (I think the answer should be "whatever is documented in the manual", but currently that probably doesn't cover enough.)
