Note that most responders have suggested "eval" (starting with yours
truly), but I really think you should look into the "nameref" facility in
bash.  That's really the best solution - easier to use and more flexible
than "eval".

Here's an example:

    declare -n foo
    unset zzz one two three
    for foo in one two three;do foo=$((++zzz));done
    echo $one, $two, $three
