Look at Facets: facets/ruby.rb. There is 1.8 implementation of
#__method__.

    # Retreive the current running method name.
    #
    #   def tester; __method__; end
    #   tester  #=> :tester
    #
    # Technically __callee__ should provided alias names,
    # where __method__ should not. But we'll have to
    # leave that distinction to Ruby 1.9+.

    def __method__
      /\`([^\']+)\'/.match(caller(1).first)[1].to_sym
    end
