This all hinges on your definition of "Scheme error."  The errors
signalled by the primitives in SRFI 50 all mean that there's a *bug*
in your program.  I'll admit that being able to "handle" this kind of
situation would be useful, but I don't even know what the right way to
do this would be in *Scheme*, much less in C.
