By experience, we know that enabling SCM_VOIDP_TEST brings up lots of
unexpected problems, which need some time and testing to sort out.

In order to guarantee stability in Guile-1.4 on as many platforms as
possible, and in order to guarantee smooth interaction with
applications, we'll start working on after the 1.4 release.

Sounds like a good idea to me (although we should probably use a
different name).
