void foofunc()
{
    Stdout.formatln("{}", __FUNCTION__);
}

Output:
foofunc

Ie, basically the same as __FILE__ and __LINE__ and useful in the same ways.

Also, I'd like to be able to do something like:

Reflect.invoke(__FUNCTION__, params);

Something funtionally equiveilent to that would aid maitenance of 
self-invoking functions (not only recusion, but also func overloads that are 
defined in terms of one "primary" overload).

Also would be nice for similar reasons: __CLASS__ (or something similar that 
would also work for structs)
