How does one convert a variavle name, when stored in another variable, to a 
string? For example if a variable of X_val is stored in variable VN,
it can be printed to screen by (prin1 vn) and its value can be acessed
by (setq v (eval vm)) which canbe converted by a (rtos v), but how to get the 
string representation of the name, ie an "X_VAL" into a variable for
later handling? Without printing them to a file and redeanging them back in 
as strings, that is. Reading them in as strings, is the above.
