I don't do it yet, as my first thoughts went into the detection of the
singularity. I have not yet finally decided how to extend when a singular move
has been found. So far I just stupidly add a full ply in my fractional
extensions-scheme. But this has to be changed, of course. Especially when you
have other extension techniques such as "one reply extensions". Then you MUST
take care, that these extensions do not overlap with the general SE.  Otherwise
you give, for instance, two plies for only one reason.
