You should at least use these macros when the GC may be triggered during your C 
function (e.g. with calls to some of the alloc_ functions) and you have local 
"value", even if your function does not accept value as argument and/or does not 
return a "value" variable.

I believe that the first is correct, but I am not a real guru of this Ocaml-C 
binding, so I am not sure of this.
