How do I reference a variable by its name in SASS?

Question

I am working on a sass framework that has a list of variables to turn on and off features.

For example:

// atoms:

   $use-pa: true;
   $use-pt: true;
   $use-pb: true;

I want to be able to do something like the following in case a variable was turned off.

@mixin requires($collection: ()) {

    @each $var in $collection {

        #{$var}: true;

    }
}

and

@include requires((

    $use-pa,

    $use-pt,

    $use-pb

));

I am looking for a way to change a variable's value by its name... if possible. #{} does not work.

You can use maps http://viget.com/extend/sass-maps-are-awesome — JAre, Jun 26 '14 at 21:11

If you just want to change the variable's value, don't use interpolation. Here's a sassmeister for you to play with.
