This is a possibility for the .doc files. I don't think we need to
involve Guile at all in the .x files; what we have already is fine for
the .x's.

Sure we can, as long as we only need Guile for the .doc's. But the
regexp availability remains a problem.

This might well be a better idea, but it needs more thought. The
advantage of the current system is that we can easily define new
macros like SCM_DEFINE and SCM_DEFINE1 that expand into stuff with the
right low-level markers in.
