That’s the least I could expect. :-)

Nooo, not necessarily, ‘scm_without_guile’ is old-fashioned. Quoting
the fine manual:
Starting from Guile 2.0, blocked threads no longer hinder garbage
collection. Thus, the functions below are not needed anymore. They can
still be used to inform the GC that a thread is about to block, giving
it a (small) optimization opportunity for "stop the world" garbage
collections, should they occur while the thread is blocked.

Oh? But not in Scheme files hopefully?
BTW, while we’re at it, how about make-foreign-function => pointer->procedure?
Sounds like the ultimate rename to me.
Thanks,
