Is it possible to get the name of the current method at runtime, as you can get the classname? I’m guessing not, but thought I’d see if someone knew a way.

(I’m profiling my app and have created a simple profiler class that keeps track of calls to certain functions. When I hit “esc” it spits out a list of function calls, how many each time was called how long was spent inside each. It would be easier if I didn’t have to type the function name every time I wanted to test a method and could just cut-and-paste.)
