This would still mean that running a game turned off the immediate
playback, which would puzzle users. Instead, we can fix it. Either we
prevent game players using anything other than a Quit button to finish
or better, we provide a command

(d-AttachQuitCallback "scheme")
which will cause "scheme" to be executed on closing the current
movement.
If the game is used to quit then it will detach the callback before it
finishes

(d-DetachQuitCallback)

and executing "scheme" to restore immediateplayback, as described in my
email.

 This needs to go in some [[Category::Design Notes]] on our website
under the todo list http://denemo.org/index.php/Todo-List.
 BTW is the feature list up to date for your work for the upcoming
release on that list? That is where the release notes will come from.
