Have we noticed any principles for when/how to use dynamics, tuples, and combinators together to solve problems? For instance, after some false starts I think I've worked out that I want my little data munger to look like this: P" apath" parse-mibor [ "MlsNum" by-name do-stuff "AnotherCol" by-name do-more whatever ] with-mibor-bulk-each-record with-mibor-bulk will create a new namespace with two variables, one is an assoc with column names mapped to column indexes (grabbed from the first array) and the other is an assoc with the current record array. by-name will consult those two variables and leave the current record's data for that field on the stack.
