Convert arbitrary function inputs to string

[David Dreisigmeyer]

Yes,  I'm calling Gambit-C from Python and would like to make this
cleaner.  Instead of having to do something like:

gambit.eval ("(print \"Hello\n\")")

I want to do this:

gambit.eval (print "Hello\n")

so that the expression following gambit.eval is a standard scheme expression.
