I don't really care about that, but it would be nice to split-out
the (find-brace lambda to a generic function.

That is, instead of having a comment like this

    ;; binary search based on y-extent of brace stencil

with a specific binary-search algorithm implemented for
finding a brace, it would be nice to have something like

    ;; one binary-search to rule/find them all
    (define (binary-search min max getter target-value)
      ...)

    (find-brace (binary-search 0 575 get-y-from-brace size)
