If you read carefully, you'll see that there's more than just __FUNCTION__. For example, I suggested to use some literal to denote current function, fthis/self/whatever. Others suggested scope.function/scope.class/etc. Andrei agreed that there should be a compile-time reflection that would allow function to call itself in some generic way.
