This command matches Org Mode API style.

I hope Org Mode can have this built-in. Because there are some other dyna=
mic blocks. They can use this dispatcher function.

For example org-gantt dynamic block, I write a function manually:

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(defun org-insert-dblock:org-gantt ()
  "Insert org-gantt dynamic block."
  (interactive)
  (org-create-dblock
   (list :name "org-gantt"
         :file "data/images/project-gantt-chart.png"
         :imagemagick t
         :tikz-options "scale=3D1.5, every node/.style=3D{scale=3D1.5}"
         :weekend-style "{draw=3Dblue!10, line width=3D1pt}"
         :workday-style "{draw=3Dblue!5, line width=3D.75pt}"
         :show-progress 'if-value
         :progress-source 'cookie-clocksum
         :no-date-headlines 'inactive
         :parameters "y unit title=3D.7cm, y unit chart=3D.9cm"
         :tags-group-style '(("test"."group label font=3D\\color{blue}")
                             ("toast"."group label font=3D\\color{green}"=
))
         :tags-bar-style '(("test"."bar label font=3D\\color{blue}")
                           ("toast"."bar label font=3D\\color{green}"))))=
)

Org defines C-c C-x i as org-insert-columns-dblock= . Instead, it could call the org-insert-dblock dispatcher shown here. The original org-insert-columns-dblock<= /tt> would be one among other dblock inserters.

Possible dblocks:
=C2=A0 org-insert-columns-dblock
=C2=A0 org-clock-report
=C2=A0 propview
=C2=A0 invoice
=C2=A0 org-insert-dblock:aggregate
=C2=A0 org-insert-dblock:join
=C2=A0 org-insert-dblock:transpose

Any future dblock inserter would be taken into account by the dispatcher just by providing an autoloadable org-insert-dblock:s= omething function.
