How to get the function name from within that function?

Question

How can I access a function name from inside that function?

// parasitic inheritance
var ns.parent.child = function() {
  var parent = new ns.parent();
  p

You could use this, for browsers that support Error.stack (not nearly all, probably)

function WriteSomeShitOut(){ 
  var a = new Error().stack.match(/at (.*?) /);
  console.log(a[1]);
} 
WriteSomeShitOut();

of course this is for the current function, but you get the idea.

happy drooling while you code
