I just want the current template name in the current scope. I 
know it seems trivial but it would help me reduce boilerplate 
code. I'm using it to debug and use the template name as a way to 
turn on debugging for specific templates if I need to analyze 
their behavior(lots of code generating templates that may have 
bugs).

A similar feature would end up being needed for functions when I 
log functions debug output.


With such a function I can just copy and paste the line to 
display the output rather than copy paste modify(replace the old 
template name with the new).

I don't need the template name of a template that called it... 
that is different, possibly useful but not required.




void f()
{
	pragma(msg, __FUNCTION__);
}

template t()
{
     pragma(msg, __FUNCTION__);
}

void main(string[] argv)
{
	readln();
}

the function displays main.f. The template displays nothing. I'd 
prefer it to display main.t! or something unique so I can use it 
as a hash.
