I'll implement it, then.  (tomorrow, probably).

some questions:

should I make scm_register_root nest like scm_protect?

should I provide two sets of functions instead, one nesting and the
other not?

do you share my dislike of the name `scm_protect'?  I think it's not
very clear, it should be `scm_protect_from_gc' or somesuch.
