Deciding a parameter name dynamically

I would like to know how to refer to the xsl parameter whose name is 
itself given in either another parameter or a node value.  So instead of

$param

we have something like

$[(_at_)paramName]

where paramName is an attribute of a node.  Except that the above syntax 
doesn't work.  Anybody know what does?
