Well.  The Lisp tradition is, iirr, that names that are one component
get the "p" without an intervening dash, and names that are more than
one component get the dash.  That is, it would be "foop", but
"small-foo-p".  One could argue that scm_definedp has two components,
or one could argue that the "scm_" prefix doesn't count...

But as you say, consistency with the rest is more important.  But
backwards compatability is also important.

I'd say it's OK to leave the names as it is.
