recursive variable substitution in csh

[Jeff MacDonald]

In the C-shell, how does one evaluate a variable which contains the
name of a variable in order to get the value of the variable
contained by the variable that one is evaluating?

To wit:

set x = 'ABC'
set y = '$x'
set z =      # some function of y such that $z == "ABC"


Don't ask how I got into this predicament, it's not funny!
