This isn't necessarily "unreasonable" -- though, I see your point....
<cfscript>
//make a cfc instance
cfc = createObject("component","test");
//1)set the name of a method
//2)make a temporary method that references it
//3)call the temp method
methodName = "getFoo";
cfc.tempMethod = cfc[methodName];
cfc.tempMethod();
//for completeness, kill the temp method
structDelete(cfc,"tempMethod");
</cfscript>
