Option values can be stored in native format. * (Important for efficiency in, e. g., the evaluator.) * 3. Doesn't use up name space. * 4. Options can be naturally grouped => ease of use. */ /* scm_options is the core of all options interface procedures. * * Some definitions: * * Run time options in Guile are arranged in groups.
