I should also mention that, yes, I know that if you replace
line 5 with:
   <!--#var "_['colname']"-->
it simply returns the the string name of 'colname', as
mentioned in the manual, so obviously

 "_['count-'+colname]" is returning a string also. 

 And
 "_.getitem('count-'+colname)", also returns a string,

So how do I turn the string back into an object of the same name?
