  I probably don't. I am not a dev and a noob at Vim scripting, so I try
things.

  Here, I was trying to do something like this :

define some data -->
let s:data_1 = {
      \  'a_key': 'some_data'
      \, 'another_key': 'data...'
      ...
      \}

let s:data_2 = {
      \  'a_key': 'some_other_data'
      "similar (but not necessarily strictly identical) structure as data_1...
      \}
.
.

let s:data_n...
<--

  And later, put those sharing common treatments in lists. The following
example is why I was trying to retrieve the variable ?name? :

-->
let s:candidates_for_anonymous_function_a = [ s:data_x, s:data_y, ... ]

for candidate in s:candidates_for_anonymous_function_a
  function {?name?(candidate)}.function_a()
    return some_fancy_function(self.a_key)
  endfunction
endfor
<--

  Which would allow me to later use 's:data_n.function_a()'.

  I thought that would be fun as a composing tool, rather flexible and,
more importantly, complying with my way of thinking.

  I could still do it if I store my variables in lists as strings, and
later use 'eval()' on them, as suggested by Tony.

  But perhaps this is just my inexperience which leads me to weird
constructions. ^^

  Thanks again and best regards,
