I really discourage trickery with string manipulation and eval just so
you can write GS_1 instead of GS{1}. I routinely read code like this
where everything is peppered with string manipulation and eval just to
reimplement variable indexing using underscores. The Octave language
already has variable indexing. There is no need to reimplement it.
