''(...) Is *read-time* substitution, a very special-purpose mechanism. Try
ev(...).
But why are you creating variables in this strange way in the first place?
Why not use a[i]?
Also, how did you learn about ''(...) and concat? I wonder if there's some
documentation or tutorial that's miseducating people... we see this problem
often.
