   *
   * s7_new_type describes the type for Scheme:
   *   name:    the name used by describe-object
   *   print:   the function called whenever s7 is asked to display a value with this type
   *   free:    the function called when an object of this type is about to be garbage collected
   *   equal:   compare two objects of this type; (equal? obj1 obj2)
   *   gc_mark: called during the GC mark pass -- you should call s7_mark_object
   *            on any embedded s7_pointer associated with the object.
   *   apply:   a function that is called whenever an object of this type
   *            occurs in the function position (at the car of a list; the rest of the list
   *            is passed to the apply function as the arguments).
   *   set:     a function that is called whenever an object of this type occurs as
   *            the target of a generalized set!
   *
   * in the extended version (s7_new_type_x), you can also set the following:
   *   length:  the function called when the object is asked what its length is.
   *   copy:    the function called when a copy of the object is needed.
   *   fill:    the function called to fill the object with some value.
   *
   *   s7_new_type and s7_new_typ_x return an integer that identifies the new type for the other functions.
   *
   * s7_is_object returns true if 'p' holds a value of a type created by s7_new_type.
   * s7_object_type returns the object's type
   * s7_object_value returns the value bound to that object (the void *value of s7_make_object)
   * s7_make_object creates a new Scheme entity of the given type with the given (uninterpreted) value
   * s7_mark_object marks any Scheme object as in-use (use this in the gc_mark function to mark
   *    any embedded s7_pointer variables).
