I am not very good at naming, but can we keep DynamicVariable a subclass of Notification, and provide 2 methods: use_during_: for the fast way by making use a ProcessVariable use_inside_: for the slow way of stackframe backtracing.
Interesting idea if it can be implemented! But how would #value know which one to use? The slow thing is not _setting_ the variable, it is _reading_ it, and it seems to me that without doing stack inspection you cannot know whether you are in a #use:inside: block.
