Subject: Re: using the current method name within current method

Depending on how you feel about mucking with core ruby types, a method
like this one seems like a decent candidate for mixing in to Object.

class Object
  def this_method
    caller[0]=~/`(.*?)'/
    $1
  end
end

Course I'm one of those crazy irb hack loving people that mixes
convenience methods into everything....
