Can you describe a situation where you have access to
modify what a method does but not its name? I know it
IS possible but rather unusual.

Ruby's exception handling will provide you with the
method name already. You could also do something like
this:

class Object
  def method_name()
    # Use Kernel.caller and some string manipulation here
  end
end

class Foo
  def foo
    puts "My name is #{self.method_name}!"
  end
end

I just do not see why this would be necessary.
