Sorry for sounding like I'm saying "never". But I say "never", because
when you understand why I'm saying "never", you'll know that there are
a few exceptions. :)
Yes, there are some "behind the scenes" patterns that symrefs let you do, and
for which they are the only solution.
But in general, if it's "I want this value to be part of that variable name",
that's forbidden.
