Just did a quick test, New Stack, one fld "testField", in the msg box:

put "hello" into fld ("test" & "Field")

works fine, so in some cases the engine can up-front evaluate and
correctly associate it as an object name.

I haven't tested every instance where a name is required and whether
parenthesis can be used, but I'd agree it's inconsistent and therefore
a bug.
