dynamic list of variable names

[Colin Ingram]

How does one create a dynamic list of variables names at runtime.  So I'd like 
to do something like

nr = some_function(x,y)
for i = 1:nr
["some_variable_name" , "i"] = someother_function (i)
end

Which you obviously can't do since you can't have string concatenation on the 
left side of the assignment operator.

It seams like I might be able to work something up using a variable list of 
return values from a function but I can't see how to do this.  Is it even 
possible or am I stuck using a structure or cell to hold my data?
