Actually, this method is documented in the 4.5 docs...
/CFDOCS/CFML_Language_Reference/2_ColdFusion_Tags/lr2_088.htm
Dynamic variable names
In this example, the variable name is itself a variable.
<CFSET myvariable="current_value">
<CFSET "#myvariable#"=5>
Or in the CF5 docs with the same text...
/cfdocs/CFML_Reference/Tags94.html#1103445
