I would imagine that the ability to change the string dynamically during the
parsing of the script is precisely the reason Rune would like a function
like this!  And it's not unheard of - PHP, for instance, allows variable
variables, i.e. you can have one variable $a = "name", then use $$a just as
if it were $name.
