I guess I should add that I don't think the exact syntax you have will work. Once a_2 is passed to the show function, I don't think the show function knows where it came from, i.e., the show function has access to the *value* of a_2, but doesn't know what variable name was actually passed. The other solutions had the variable name passed to the function as a string, which, of course, would be different because there you are passing in a string, the name of the variable.
