There's about 3-4 CLJ tickets related to this. The issue is that :dynamic
is only read once: when the var is created. If you need to change a var to
be dynamic, you can set it manually with .setDynamic.
Personally I think it's simply an artifact of how defs are created, and
it's never been enough of a pain to anyone to suggest a better solution.
What's being asked for is some sort of trigger. When :dynamic is set in the
metadata call setDynamic. This seems like a bad idea to me.
