Subject: Best name for "this method" ?

Wondering what the conscensus is on the best name for "this method". Right now 
I'm using #calling, taking after #binding, but I'm not so sure about it. I've 
also considered #this or #thus, to be more along the lines of 'self'.

  # Returns the current method or method name
  def calling(firstclass=false)
    m = /\`([^\']+)\'/.match(caller(1).first)[1]
    return ( firstclass ? method( m ) : m.intern )
  end

Also, will a method like this be implemented in future Ruby?

Thanks,
T.
