When you need variable variables arrays are a natural fit.

The workarounds we all learned were only because HC didn't support 
arrays.  But now that we have them, we can make general-purpose 
containers for any number of values stored by any name.

So instead of the funky:
   do "put" && myText" && "into" && the foundChunk --or somesuch

...we can simply write:

  put myText into tMyGeneralPurposeDataStore[someLabel]
