THAT is what I have been looking for, in other places as well!  I used
to use that sort of technique in a very old language, Clipper, and
although it was comparitively slow in Clipper, it got me through some
tricky spots.  Going off memory, I think that Clipper would need &key,
or something like that.

As a matter of interest, is it in the PHP manual?  I still can't find
it!

As to your other suggestion, I need to give it some thought.  There is
another similar function, whose name escapes me, where I can add a
prefix to all the variable names to obfuscate things a little.
