Why?

To me, scm_bits_t seems like a better name than scm_t.  Note that the
first part of the name is just a prefix, so `scm_t' conceptually is
just "t".

scm_bits_t actually tells what it is about: We convert an atomic type,
SCM, into a bit representation.

If you find a name which is truly better thab `scm_bits_t' I'll change
it.
