OK, how about "bits": We use the macro whenever we want access to the
bits of an SCM value:
SCM_BITS (x)
SCM_CARBITS (x)
SCM_SCM (x)
as a subsitute for the current
SCM_ASWORD (x)
SCM_CARW (x)
SCM_ASSCM (x)
?
(I'm pretty eager at changing this, because a lot of other packages
depends on this change (like GOOPS), and I like to have them working
against the current Guile.)
