Wild stab in the dark, but would something like this work:

auto self = __traits(parent, dummy);

supported.
This hack will generate the enclosing function name
void function x()
{
int dummy;
auto funcname = __traits( identifier, __traits( parent, dummy ) );
writefln( funcname );
}
Obviously the above solution is not reasonable, esp for a language that
attempts to provide good reflection abilities.
What would work considerably better is something ike this
void function x()
{
writeln(self.symbolname);
}
I agree - except I wouldn't reserve 'self' as a keyword. I'd probably
extend the existing __traits mechanism, avoiding the need for the
dummy/parent hack. Possibly also create a shortcut for nested __traits?
It's not down to me though - I just wanted to give you something to work
with so you can get your project working.
D has a bug tracker where you could post the feature request:

Good luck :)
