Tim’s method works - but you should REALLY REALLY think about what’s
causing you to want to do this. This sort of trick could be handy when
debugging, but using it in code that’s meant to run reliably can wind
up giving you some serious headaches. For instance, the object
referred to by the string could get garbage-collected before you can
dereference it…
