The second case will allow clients to be added in any order..but, requires awkward manipulation of mask bits.
The EQDictionary (last) case does not require any special ordering of clients or manipulation of mask bits.

Dynamic references are run-time definitions based on expansion settings, and possibly other criteria.
There are 2 dynamic references based on gm flag states `<set>` and `<clear>`.
Dynamic lookups are usually embedded into a system class..but, their use is not exclusive to them.
Not every case of client/mob version and gm flag set/clear will receive a dynamic entry.
Not every case of client/mob version and gm flag set/clear will receive a dynamic entry. In these cases, the static reference is returned.
These entries are built when the initial call to `EQEmu::<system_namespace>::InitializeDynamicLookups()` is performed.
These entries are built when the initial call to `EQEmu::<system_namespace>::InitializeDynamicLookups()` is performed at server start-up.
A deep, working knowledge of client behavior is required to correctly set up dynamic entries. Testing through server settings and observation is the best way to achieve this.
