That came from me sometime around 2005. Last fall, I got the dynamics working much better with the make-dynamic-extra function. So I propose that this example should be completely changed. > - Is there any good reason to use (cons 5 0) instead of '(5 . 0)? ... but my current code uses (cons x y).

I certainly didn't document \translate! I blame Han-Wen. :) So should we remove (cons everywhere? That'd be easy enough to grep for.
