But smob.h says:

  /* These next two functions are the supported way to create new SMOB types.

     scm_make_smob_type is useful if there are no special smob functions
       and the defaults work for mark,free,print,equal_p, or you want to use
       scm_set_smob_{mark,free,print,equalp}, below.

     scm_make_smob_type_mfpe is ideal if you need to set one or more of
       the special smob functions-- use NULL for when the default function 
       is fine

The comment should be updated, probably.
