There was an additional issue in goops.c where SCM_C[AD]R get used
with objects that have just been verified to be structs, not pairs.
Since there don't see
I have a suggestion: Let's set SCM_DEBUG=1 by default for the 1.9.x

Clearly, it should be easy to disable, for doing performance testing
builds or whatever. But having it on by default makes it more likely
that we'll catch some kinds of errors sooner.
There are a couple of obviou
