I know it's a longshot, but:

  dblack@laptop:~/hacking$ cat some\`file
  def method_name
    /`(.+)'$/.match(caller(1)[0])[1]
  end

  def x
    puts method_name
  end

  x
  dblack@laptop:~/hacking$ ruby some\`file
  file:6:in `x
  dblack@laptop:~/hacking$

I honestly don't know what the perfect tweak would be.
