No, not really, but you can fake it using:

  http://rm-f.net/~cout/ruby/treasures/RubyTreasures-0.4/lib/hacks/call_stack.rb.html

E.g.:

  require 'rbt/hacks/call_stack'
  def foo
    p caller_func(-1)
  end
  foo() #=> :foo

Be forewarned that using the call stack will dramatically hinder performance.
