The standard SDL prefix for creating a new instance of a type is
create. The standard Guile prefix is make. Wherever an
SDL function uses the create prefix we will keep it. Object
creation functions unique to Guile, such as make-rect, will
use make as a prefix. In addition, we will sometimes introduce
higher-level creation functions, such as make-surface,
which is a wrapper to create-rgb-surface which provides
useful default values from the current screen information.
