Since we don't need to define functions dynamically for "linewise,
symbol, word, paragraph, sexp", I don't see how "statement, block/loop
or expression and a poor top-level --beginning/end-of-defun" would
require dynamic definition of functions.
IOW, I still don't really see what you're trying to do.

BTW: For languages that use SMIE, the sexp movement typically moves by
statement/subexpressions.
