Thank you,
sorry I had no chance to see it earlier
Regarding where it could be useful:

When you have to monitor app, which consists of thousands methods.

Monitor examples: process management, testing, security, etc...

In general, when somebody works for you, it is not a bad idea, to know 
his/her name. It could be useful sometimes.

So I was wandering. Kernel uses and even sends a method name to app, and 
I hoped, that it would share this knowledge with app by asking. 
According you, it does not.
So, yes, thank you. I will have to cheat :)) and simulate errors until


Ruby developers will implement this in future editions.

I hope they read the forum.
