The m_symbolarray-abstraction is a convenience wrapper around [element symarray symbols] | [get sym name] which includes some logic to manage the array's content. [makefilename %d-tab] btw. cannot manage anything. So [makefilename %d-tab] is doing something different. You should not use m_symbolarray to replace it. Only use a symbolic array, where you need it.
