Interesting question! It seems that $NAME really has no inverse. One  
possibility would be to construct a line of code on the fly and  
execute it. For example, if the VAR="X" and you want pass the  
variable with VAR as its name as a reference parameter (say that  
three times fast), you could do this

SET CMD="D TAG(."_VAR_")" X CMD

(I agree that it's an ugly solution.)
