See `get` and `assign` functions for a way to use strings as object
names. Generally, it might not be a good idea to do that (what if your
spreadsheet contains a sheet named `c` or `q`, or `data.frame`?).

If you want to save yourself some typing, consider using `with` or
`within`, though they suffer from similar problems.
