What I'm not seeing is why this:
CITIES[state][city]
doesn't undergo the same evaluation/interpolation as this:
<%= state %>
Whatever happens, I would expect "state" to end up representing the same
thing every time, instead of representing the string "CT" at one point and
the string "$(GEO{'region_code'})" at another point. Why doesn't the EIS
processing ensure that we get CITIES["CT"]["NEWHAVEN"]?

True :-) except I hate letting things slip away without fully understanding
them.
