Subject: Is there a way to get the name of symbol passed to method?

Is there a way to get the name of the symbol passed to a method?

e.g.

def geterdone(array)
      # funkify array- but I want to know name of original symbol, not
array, and prefix each element with it
      newarray=array.select(...){...}
end

oldarray=[val1, val2, ...]
newarray=geterdone(oldarray)
# newarray is now ["oldarray:val1", "oldarray:val2", ...]

Thanks,
Nick
