Doing user interfaces I often find myself with several buttons that
point to the same underlying function with different arguments, like:
scoreboard_timer0_button =: timer_start@({&timer_buttontimes)@0:
scoreboard_timer1_button =: timer_start@({&timer_buttontimes)@1:
scoreboard_timer2_button =: timer_start@({&timer_buttontimes)@2:
scoreboard_timer3_button =: timer_start@({&timer_buttontimes)@3:
scoreboard_timer4_button =: timer_start@({&timer_buttontimes)@4:
etc...
I could save quite a bit of bulk if I could come up with an expression,
call it
whoami
which would return, as a character string, the name of the explicit definition
it is running in.
I emphatically DO NOT want for whoami to require that debug be turned on.
I have been defeated. Any winners?
