Actually, we can change it so that we handle the last invocation
specially, i.e. "return scm_call_1(...);".

If we're going to implement string-every in C, then that's the best we
can do right now, and from looking at the output of srfi-13.s via
-save-temps (presuming I'm reading the x86 assembly right) newer gcc's
optimize that call to a jmp.
