Hmmm... Could one then go &main::ME() then? No, that's not
generalizable...
How about a @CALLER array, with each element being a reference to the
invoking function in the call-back stack. $CALLER[0] would be
equivilant to \&ME, $CALLER[1] would be the sub that called &ME, etc,
and then $CALLER[-1] would logically be the main program.
Hmm... I don't like @CALLER... Is @& taken? I know $& is...
