Hi,

is it possible to extend "var_for_name" so that it can also manipulate local variables; e.g. when reading config data from a file?

Regards,

what's the point of reading config data to local vars?

Think about the lifetime of local variables, the disambiguity of their names and the fact that multiple instances of a certain function can be active at the same time and you've got your answer.
