E8102 error

saved.bind name is not a string literal

area: stdlib (x8xxx)
fails the build: yes

saved.bind takes the SavedVariable's name as a string literal, so the compiler can check it against the manifest (E8020) and make sure it is bound only once (E8103). A variable or any other expression can't be checked.

Write the name directly in the call.

The compiler reports it like this:
