Can someone explain to me why accessing the underlying (const char*)
of a string should be internal? If you are writing C++, doing
const char* ptr = scm_i_string_chars(scmval);
string x(ptr);
is the most straightforward and efficient way to create a string.
Using the API incurs an additional malloc, memcpy and free.
