Additional comments:
I'm unhappy with the names; using "dynamic" as a noun in this context
rubs me the wrong way (in fact I think using "dynamic" as a noun in
-any- context is a little strange). I think "dynamic-variable" is a
good name for this thing, despite the fact that it's unpopular. You
at one point suggested "dynamic-identifier"; this also seems
reasonable to me, although you expressed some discomfort with it.
Whatever name is chosen, I think that the constructor and predicate
should contain it: e.g. `MAKE-DYNAMIC-IDENTIFIER' and
`DYNAMIC-IDENTIFIER?'. I'm happy with the names of the other
procedures.
