I've just found an article on this subject in the Christmas issue (108) of Outdoor Photographer. As is the case with stacking, this is strictly digital territory and wondered if combining the two had been done:

High Dynamic Range (HDR) Photography
My images are a medium for sharing some of my experiences: they are not me.

Sure. See the fifth illustration on the Tufuse home page:Harold Gough wrote:wondered if combining the two had been done
For deep stacks, which are expensive to shoot at multiple exposures, the sixth illustration shows what would normally be a more practical approach. Shoot a single stack, then use a "pseudo HDR" technique to bring out detail that would otherwise be hidden in very dark or very light areas.21 different images (not shown here) fused into three exposure and focus blended composite images, and then stitched into a (vertical) panoramic image.

I learned both those techniques in the darkroom 25+ years ago, using rubylith masks.
Four shots is a lot for a focus stack in a darkroom, two is plenty for HDR
