I can see the argument, but really don't think this ends up as an
intuitive mapping.  I think we need something new to handle
values that change with 'symbol'.

Sorry it took me so long to reply to this.

So, we have had similar issues before, particularly around power
meters where we need a 'broader' concept of index to allow for multiple
related measurements.

However, in this case I think we can sort of think of the values being
aspects controlled by a symbol, which might map onto an 'axis' for
example (stretching the definition).

So maybe define some new modifiers, symbolA, symbolB for example giving
us
out_altvoltage0_symbolA_frequency
out_altvoltage0_symbolB_frequency.

This is a discussion I'd like others to contribute to though as
interface design is always a pain to get right!
