Save table to csv file where both file name and table name are variables

Question

If I want to save table table1 to csv file /tmp/table1.csv I can do it with:

`:/tmp/table1.csv 0: csv 0: table1

But what if both file name and table name come from string variables?

fname:"/tmp/table1.csv"
tname: "table1"
/ how do I save table tname to file fname?

This should work:

hsym[`$fname] 0: csv 0: value `$tname

and valuing a symbol, returns the value of the variable it names.
