I'm ambivalent. The danger is that the number of functions to create
and manipulate data structures explodes, and becomes harder to
learn. We have to find a balance between having a small "interface"
and an interface that is ultra-ergonomic to use. For the above case, I
think make-music-by-name-and-props and is useful, althouh I oppose of
the name. Why not have
make-music-by-name
take an optional alist or list of init values?
