‘%port-conversion-strategy’ is not documented, and its relation to
‘scm_to_stringn’ is not documented either.

Worse:

  scheme@(guile-user)> (fluid-set! %port-conversion-strategy 'error)
  Segmentation fault

Indeed, an integer is expected:

  scheme@(guile-user)> (fluid-ref %port-conversion-strategy)
  $2 = 1

Fix to expect a symbol like ‘set-port-conversion-strategy!’?
