Ack, I found out this causes an error:

//////////////////
#declare ObjectName = concat("ExportedObj_", str(frame_number,0,0));

object {
  ObjectName
}
//////////////

So, short of this:

#if (frame_number=0)
 object { ExportedObj_0 }
#end
#if (frame_number=1)
 object { ExportedObj_1 }
#end
//////////////

Is there any way to programatically refer to different objects?

(I'm dealing with a series of files that have a #declare object= block in
them, exported by a tool, that defines these objects).

Use Parse_String macro.
