fwiw, ngetopt.awk[1] relies on the current SYMTAB behavior.

Are you disabling that ability to create the variable by poking it
into SYMTAB
**** THERE IS NO SUCH CAPABILITY ****. The fact that you reference
'age'
in the program is what puts it into SYMTAB.
Your program creates unrelated (non-variable) elements in SYMTAB "name"
and "weight" that are no different from any other array elements.
The internal details of that a variable really gets assigned when used
without the SYMTAB array does not really matter from a user's
perspective.
Either a user references the variable directly, and it works, or doesn't
reference a variable defined through SYMTAB, and it also works.
It is exactly this confusion that I'm trying to avoid.
I do not mind getting weird errors in unexpected places when not
adhering to
variable name conventions in this indirect way.
