You can actually skip the 'symbol' statement, it slows the handler down
(for large numbers of iterations anyway, it's seemingly 1:1 at 500, 1:2
at 5000 and 1:15 at 50000) and the reference will be successful anyway.
from D8.5 mac message window:
foo = [#a1:21,#a2:22] -- or ["a1":21,"a2":22], both work
x = 2
put foo["a"&x]
-- 22
If you've explicitly defined the list using symbols, it might be clearer
to someone trying to use this code next year if you use the symbol function.
