Subject: Accessing the name of the current function

Is there away to access the name of the currently defined function?
Example: Right now I do tracing like this:

def myfunc(a,b) 
  trace.debug "ENTER myfunc a=#{a} b=#{b}"
  ....
  trace.debug "LEAVE myfunc result=#{result}"
  result
end

If I rename myfunc, I also have to change the word myfunc in the
trace statements. It would be convenient to have something like

  trace.debug "ENTER #{__function__} a=#{a} b=#{b}"

Maybe Ruby already provides such a feature, and I just don't know it...
