This works for the example given but it introduces other question like how to create the list {HoldForm[ts2], HoldForm[ts3]}
apart from typing it in. Typically you would start with an expression of held Symbols before they (ts2
, ts3
, etc.) are assigned values. Another question exists that addresses the use of this form to some degree: Elegant manipulation of the variables listElegant manipulation of the variables list Nevertheless IMHO this should not be used commonly but rather as a special purpose tool.
