I am fairly confident that at the time that I wrote
make-dynamic-extra, it was the best way of doing it. I spent
something like 10 hours working on it and reading mailing list
archives.
Issue 739 appears to have been written after that work, and at
first glance it looks good.

Please stop capitalizing "patch". If you're referring to issue
1264, the patch broke the build, and in any case it's postponed
until GLISS.

It might be a good idea to learn some scheme, or at the very least
do some more experimentation. I mean, ultimately what matters is
the quality of the output. Try a few different commands in your
scores, look at the output, and pick the one you like the best.
