[Callers] Yet another "Anyone seen this dance?"

[Winston, Alan P. via Callers]

The Barraclough and Goldman experiences with the dance already have 
belied my suspicion, but what I was thinking was that the extremely 
common use of "circle left 3/4 and swing on the side" was going to 
interfere with "Circle left all the way and swing on the side", and that 
we might see a failure mode of going three places and swinging partner 
there.

Reality has already proven me wrong.
