You still can.

The method that the function createArchivedProbeDisplayNamed calls
(via the macro CREATE_ARCHIVED_PROBE_DISPLAY) is 
createArchivedProbeDisplayFor:variableName:.

The macro is a way of avoiding passing variableName, since the
variable you pass CREATE_ARCHIVED_PROBE_DISPLAY is for most purposes
a perfectly good key (an instance variable name will be unique within
an object).

I'll make the underlying function return an id, so that the more
complicated usage won't be needed.
