You should probably use pointers in a case like this, but you can do what
you suggest with:
for i=0,size-1 do (scope_varfetch(info[i].label))=info[i].vector
Now that you've saved yourself the tedium, what will you do with those 100
different variables? You'll probably want to loop over them again, in
which case they were better off left tucked in that structure.
